What are the cons a hybrid PoW PoS system in Monero?

Specifically a PoS requirement for mining, but one where you don't get any reward for the stake, only the PoW. So you can't mine without a cpu, and some monero staked.

Complexity aside, wouldn't this make the network significantly more secure? E.g. a state entity can't just flip on some data centre to mine xmr and cripple the network, because they would also need a significant quantity of coins?

Curious to hear thoughts! iirc jberman mentioned this some time ago too.
