Oh, and did I mention the effect this would have on public schools themselves?

I agree with you. If whites knew that the numbers of blacks who could move into the neighborhood with vouchers was limited in the way you described, you'd see less white flight, I bet. OTOH, residential segregation happens for a variety of reasons, and your system might not cure it. Maybe blacks would use vouchers in black neighborhoods alone.
