Easy to answer...

As of December 2018 you cannot BRG any Design hotels...

Very few, if any, people around here are going to be "pushed back to the OTAs". A BRG policy is nothing more than:
  1. marketing for the masses
  2. a game to get an extra 25% or 5k points for those who understand the value of earning points, status credit, etc.
By all means cancel all of your reservations and become a free agent. Then wonder in 2020 and beyond why you're no longer earning free nights, getting free breakfast or a suite upgrade.
