The matter isn't that recoilless conkeldurr is broken or not. But that a change like that will affect only 10 or so mons (only counting the ones that are actually used) with a huge boost, while you should aim at affecting most mons with a buff good enough to make it viable, but not THAT good. If you want to boost an item itself, then make it useable just to 10 or so mons isn't what you should aim for.
In other words, that change will probably bring more harm than good (due to the "good" part being minimal, while the "bad" part is sometimes scary, albeit not necessarily broken). IMO, it doesn't make Life Orb suck less, it just takes out 10 or so mons from the pool of "mons that have better items to use then Life Orb", and I am not so sure it is what we should be aiming for.
If I go ahead and test and estabilish that LO Conk isn't broken, the issue remains, as LO will still be awful on 700 mons as opposed to 718 (those numbers aren't set on stone...just for the sake of argument). And I don't think that is what we should aim with a change like that.
Finally, Buff Culture. Of all the 20CC, I've never seen/saw little of: Assault Vest, Choice Scarf, Choice Specs, Choice Band, Cleanse Tag, Destiny Knot, Float Stone, Lagging Tail, Leftovers, Metronome, Safety Googles, Shed Shell, Zoom Lens (13 items). And there are also 10CC items and 6CC items. Do you really wanna go that route? Not saying you should or shouldn't, just wondering.
Also, this should get a thread. Or else it will be lost in this big one.
