You say you've been told "IETF does not have enough folks willing to do 
process management only, without the technical work".

I believe that.

But a separation of process management from technical work, in case of N 
WGs in IETF, will allow X to chair WG A, and do technical work in as 
many WGs as X wants except A, which is N-1 WGs.

So I do not see why you stopped?  Individual X can do both process 
management and technical work.
