IMO, every endgame progression path (Raid / Mythic+ / PVP) should be entirely self-sufficient and self-contained. If you want your endgame to be Mythic+, doing that content should provide you with all the gear you need to complete that content at your chosen difficulty level, and the gear you get should have stats and traits that are specialized for that type of content.
Being able to switch progression paths, progress to a higher difficulty tier, or lightly supplement your ilvl is one thing, but you should never need to dip your toe into a different progression path in order to progress in your chosen path.
Goes the other way, too. If the gear you're getting from high level Mythic+ isn't sufficient to complete Mythic+, that needs to be addressed within the Mythic+ system, not by making people dip into Mythic Raiding to get Mythic Raid quality gear.
