But no matter how we acquire gear, if Blizz decides that it’ll take two or three months to fully gear then it’ll take two or three months, with or without currencies and vendors.

But with full RNG, you can only make average-based assumptions. There’s no guarantee to be geared in X weeks/months. Speaking as someone who had spent the whole Highmaul+BRF part of WoD with a crafted weapon (and who, for that exact reason, loved WoD crafted gear as an anti-badluck mechanic).

My only question would be: What item level should be appropriate for such a system?

200? How many badges would that cost? 30? How many badges should we get then per dungeon?

Different kind of badges from different kind of challenges? 1-6 drops one for 190 items, 7-11 drops one for 200 items, 12+ drops for 210, and the same for raiding?

How far do people want to push the ilvl to feel satisfied?

I think there are two options that could work.
One would be same as JP/VP - JP would be enough to enter normal raid (in today’s term, on LFR level) and VP on normal raid level (in case of Shadowlands, maybe 7/7 upgraded covenant gear level).
The other option would be in Titan Residuum style - buy gear all the way to M raid with growing costs.
