It's a bad idea.
Only when the power is abused
If you want to keep the power fully intact with no review then just limit the power to 30 days from the general election and renew the power when the newly elected governor takes the oath of office. That would mean the power would be limited to between 30 and 60 days every 4 years.
Both parties seem to be driven by the extremist of their parties and that will continue to test the laws until the voters have no faith in the laws and you instigate anarchy.

Again, there is no middle ground here because the pardon power is supposed to be independent of the legislative and judicial branches.
Either ban the pardon power completely or leave it alone.
