I think W Series needs to happen first before we can judge.

It's for the very reasons you state that W Series is a bad idea. It's not going to increase support for women unless every single one of it's champions do well when they move on to other series, which is extremely unlikely.
They plan to have 18 participants. For a fraction of the cost of running a championship, they could by a lot more than 18 seats in various ladder championships around the world, and have a far greater chance of it giving a top-level talent the opportunity she needed.
