It's fine if that's what they want to do....but some will think of those officials differently than if they only work varsity games.
So, OP, what levels do you work and what do you see as the schedule you want?

Just work at the HS level. Before I had to take those years off my schedule was 75-80% varsity, mostly at public schools but some private, with the remainder sub-varsity at the better programs in our coverage area.
Last year (my first back) it was just under 10% varsity...at schools that would struggle to stay close to a JV team at the better programs...and the remainder sub-varsity scattered all over (several of them involving schools that were just starting to play basketball). With the first release, I have one varsity in the twelve games and the sub-varsity includes 4 freshman/JV double headers. I had none of those last year as my sub-varsity was Boys/Girls double headers. As for what I want...half and half would be great. In fact, I might even be giddy given everything I have been through.
Hey...it is what it is. I can either grit my teeth and work or log into Arbiter and uncheck "Ready".
I'll stop whining now.
