That's an interesting rule. It seems to imply that pilots who are not
good at XC flying are more likely to transition to the Jantar than
those who never land out on a long flight or only select airports if
they must land. *The rule would be satisfied *by 37.5 local flying
hours and 5 hopeless cross country attempts each lasting 0.5 hours

Wouldn't simulated off airport landings in the Jantar be a more useful
requirement?

The rule is a guideline set in a context of common sense. Someone like
you describe would never be allowed to transition and would most
likely be required to do some dual instruction before trying another
XC. Outlandings have to be while on a task and not just a glide to
the neighbor´s field.
A new XC pilot lands out quite often so most have their 5 landings by
the end of their first season.
I should have added that at least 10 local flights and precision
landings are required before anyone can take one of the Jantars cross
country for the first time.
