Unfortunately the WonderBat stuff makes this a complete no go for me, though I applaud the effort in imagining this all up. But I mean, this is based on the DCAU, and that was a lamentable part of it nonetheless.
Maxwell Lord isn't the trigger for me that it is for a lot of other WW fans, but at the same time, I get it. She has other rogues in her classic gallery that could use the focus and updating.

I just feels like Max is a dead end villain for Wonder Woman because he was never designed to become part of her rouges long-term to begin with. He was meant to be killed off by her and that's it, and now there's nothing else for him (in the comics).
In a Wonder Woman tv series, maybe they could find a way to make him work. The movie did, although by the writers own admission they weren't writing Pedro's character with Max in mind, just a businessman who they later realized they could give a popular comic name too.
Although, he just feels extra redundant now with Veronica Cale. Having both of them in a cartoon would probably be weird.

No, I don’t disagree. I have no interest in seeing Max Lord, or any element of the Sacrifice storyline popping up in a WW product anymore than I would want to see Emerald Twilight pop up in a Hal Jordan adaptation. He’s redundant in a rogues gallery with both Dr. Psycho and Veronica Cale.
I could see that, he was more tolerable under Simone than when he was first time introduced. Though Nemesis/Tressor’s problem to me was he was just a Steve Trevor stand-in. Which I guess made sense since Steve was off the table when he was brought into WW’s world and would also be the case in a DCAU continuation.
