Information and Suggestions from a technical player

Dispensing Water
There are a couple reasons to preferring dispensable water to waterlogged trap doors. (A loss in output is not one of them since you can just build a bigger farm to make up for the lost area.) Most of them are not a big deal in a server this size but if it grows it will be worth considering. For now the primary reason to prefer is lowering the build and design effort for players. For example, a crop farm with a water-harvest mechanism would have to be 12.5% bigger to incorporate waterlogged trapdoors instead of dispensers with water. Overall it’s not a big issue, it’s a quality of life change that could be easily implemented.

I see waterlogged trapdoors already as a quality of life change from Mojang because you no longer need to waste so many bows for crafting dispensers, instead, you have trapdoors that are even cheaper to get. Of course, it requires a lever instead of a button now.

Warp Totem
Having a single warp totem is a viable solution to all the problems I listed above. Like I said, I don’t think my suggestion will be popular since there’s not a pressing need for it. I prefer multiple player-specific warp stations to allow users the convenience of creating and using larger and more customizable non-mall shops that don’t require multiple interactions with the server (e.g. /warp mall *click totem *scroll to find shop *click shop) as opposed to teleporting to the exact shop in 1-2 actions (including a command alternative).

But with a warp totem, you can create your own mall or a shop in the size of the mall with more features than a mall allows.
Your solution would make warp totems become obsolete and too expensive to place.
Would only make sense, when the mall-warps lead to another dimension where all shops are inside a cuboid of bedrock with each shop being 16 chunks away from each other.
