Can some more experienced modder confirm this for me? I think it would involve a lot of work.

I believe this could be done in theory. But I am sure that it would be a terrible amount of work: You would have to make a new modification for each race and every new game where you wanted a different set of starting tech levels. And always all your old empire files would be out of use! Absolutely not practicable.
