Some amount of free donation item access for eventmins is very much so less of a solution for the lack of eventmins in general - that is a different problem, in that sense. And more eventmins alone would never scratch the itch of the problem behind that.
And the problem behind that is simple - to make maps for events, to create locations outside of camps, existing places, and overworlds... to house events in volcanos, icy caves, areas you have visioned that don't yet exist... you need to pay your own money. In that sense, to get ambitious with location, being an eventmin doesn't just not pay, it can very much cost.
And if you can't afford donation items, or get enough handouts to sustain yourself for making the events you want to make... Suddenly, for making your own narratives, making your own stories, well, what you have to play with is no longer all that much at all.
You could have ten, fifteen, twenty eventmins, and still have them get hooked down by monetary requirements that require them to stick to very limited locales, or rely on other people's generosity, or their own money, just to perform simple volunteer work.
That is a fundamental flaw that numbers aren't enough of a band-aid for. It's basically a stop sign on event creativity in some ways.
