The chance of you having a higher slot to variably upcast with and not a spell or that level that would be more useful it fairly low. The likelihood of this rule coming into play is actually fairly low, in my experience players are far more likely to run out of higher slots than lower ones.
Both of them have the added benefit of giving you the extra magic of the higher slot as resources you can use later. In fact there are already two RAW methods for doing this, the Sorcerer's Flexible Casting feature and the Variant: Spell Points rule from the DMG.

Regardless of what level you actually cast the spell at the spell slot you initially chose to use is expended in its entirety.
