Also deals like this are just ridiculous, basically giving kingdoms that don't have a chance to compete a chance by deliberately farming out. This is the exact concept as farming out to shape charts except there is a more formal aspect to it.
I'm not sure the deal differs from your requirement that no one take land from BB after you warred BB? but IIRC the logic here was that the two would have an even war and not one determined by who could notice (sparta/BB/whoever) first. As a result, both kds probably gave up 10-20k potential acres. But yeah, seems kinda weird to me.

Also, I wouldn't bet on not being able to pump on it. If you could take 30% land in wave (kinda viable with suicides/etc?), it's certainly possible. A fae with 15 PPA can generate 12k gcpa during 72h of eow. That's 9.2k gcpa on the new acres -- plenty of cash to train deep on. You'd have to start drafting 24h or so before EOW ends, but with EOW pop bonus and solswapping, it wouldn't hurt econ much. They'd definitely still be behind in cash.
