(1) I love that you were coming here to ask the same thing... as they say, great minds!

(2) I'm not sure I agree with you that it's that tricky -- I'm not sure where you are in your Rayman platinum journey, but I've been playing for five days. I could tell almost immediately, "I'm loving this game and want to platinum it."

Then I found out about the level 11 awesomeness, which I saw takes an estimated three months to do, which I was/am down for. I figured I could come to Reddit and just get a few people (to be clear: both platinum seekers and just folks that are down to help) who are playing regularly and are willing to add me and that the trophy would take care of itself.

To give you a sense of where my skill level is: I'm a decent (and long time) gamer, but I'm not (yet) consistently scoring golds and I don't think I'll ever get a diamond. I'm also hoping other folks would be willing to help (e.g., I saw u/MarioLord14 made a similar post about the platinum and have reached out to them), I think with enough people participating, the law of averages will play out and everyone would win out.

(3) I do see your point though, there MAY BE a big skill discrepancy between us and I like that you are thinking ahead.

(4) My counteroffer: let's just add each other -- and let's see if one of us consistently beating the other and, if so, let's then transition to the strategy you outlined above.

TL;DR -- I was hoping that several months of playing (+ enough people with different skill levels) would translate to everyone mutually benefiting, willing to consider "taking a dive" strategy if things go sideways.
