It depends if you want qualifying to be a show or not
Its not an elimination per se if the cars in the lower 50% cannot respond to the times set in the first session because they have no more time allocated.
For a car to be eliminated, to make it interesting on track, and for television if #10 thought about it some more than they do, then the 16 car all in session for the top cars in each group will be the highlight of the qualifying.
You could break 16 back to 8 if required, or just eliminate the single lap shootout, and replace it with all the cars on the track, and a decent view of what the timing systems are showing live timing customers, when these cars are on track
Would consumers find a qualifying teev package like an F1 version interesting to watch on the box? I would if they did it right, so it meant something.... and it would stop the blipverts (thanks Mr Headroom) we are informed of when #10 discusses qualifying...
