"And I still hold concerns that people will remain to look at non-traditional paths as inferior to legacy methods"
I think this will always be the case. Let's face it, when you use our method you earn a pass with 70. You could have 71 or 95, it doesn't matter it's all the same on your transcript. You cannot use your grade to distinguish yourself to potential employers or other universities. It is an easier path because you can optimize for 70, and as I remember it, people with 70 at my CC were certainly not people that understood the course very well, I'm not sure how much more competent they are than us.
I don't know about all the programs that can be done this way, but I think having the capstone course not testable is a good barrier. With the capstone, you can demonstrate that you learned the material and that you earned the degree. At least this is what I feel about the BSBA capstone.
