Oh, you misunderstood me I think.
I didnt mean to make the cups deeper, and leaving the jets. (which would offcourse lead to bad performance due to the water "interference")
What I meant was to make the cups deeper, but also making the jets larger equally

So the cooling system "down at the baseplate" would stay, I just think that if the cup is deeper, and the jet longer, the water needs to travel a longer dinstance to get back up, so it has more contact with the copper walls of the cup (the "2nd cooling effect of the jet impingement system)

I have thought about pressure loss, but I think that it wouldn't be the case, by just enlargening the distance the water needs to pass (in a straight line), because you can't compress the water. It does have more "friction" with the copper walls, but that's good for getting the heat away
