3 watts on VHF UHF.
How many radios do you know that will do that, apart from an ancient off frequency 290 or a Bumfeng?
My IC-910 & TS-790 will go down to 3W.
Ill get my IC-7000 out tomorrow, see if that will do it.
Anyway, most radios (modern) will go down to 5W, then you have massive feeder loss on VHF/UHF, Im sure it will be fine!!

Well I'm all for a vhf only licence, but three watts will be a bit like giving them the artificial aerial tickets of old. A bit harsh...
I would say introduce a technician class licence for 50MHz and above with full access to V/H/SHF and 100W.
