You know how raid gear has an extra slot for raid mods, and avarice has an extra slot for artifact mods?
I would love if GM's dropped Adept Legendary gear that has an extra slot for Combat mods. It could still be balanced, it still only has 10 slots, and is still subject to RNG on getting good armor rolls, maybe cost 2 golf balls to MW. BUT, it could mean that players could run 2 CWL, Well mods on one armor.
For example, I could run Bountiful well and elemental ordinance on my pants. I would get wells from Bloom grenades which immediately feed right back into getting my grenade back, but If I do that it uses 6 or 7 slots, so I might not have enough room, and would have to sacrifice another mod.

let's just say they release adept armor with extra mod slot - you're still sacrificing which mods to place, just with an extra slot. Even the GoS armor slots are only effective for one encounter.
