Right... so as GC I only could dock on Ainu Depot and Takeda Shipyard (in Tau 65, which at some point should get removed due to the guard system removal thingy) in the entirety of their whole ZOI, since they are also dependant on Cardamine and Ainu Depot (and Takeda Shipyard) is the only dockable place in their ZOI which actually sells Cardamine... So yeah... no... unless it would be a ammo type sold everywhere I'm against enforcing anything like that.
Also the 1 unit per 10 minutes would interfere with inrp laws. Bretonia allows a total of 5 units, which would become quite problematic if there are any events happening between brets, oc and gauls for example.
Here's my counter argument -
An Outcast - heavy Cardamine user inRP - is usually seen flying a Sabre or ships of the like. A Sabre, even with a universal armor upgrade VII, has 50 units of cargo. He can have 50 units of Cardamine in his ship. If one Cardamine per 10 minutes is used up, our fellow Outcast can stay in space without docking for 50 * 10 = 500/60 = a little more than 8 hours. Not a problem. Even if he was being very active and his time limit was running out, not very hard to go to a base after hours of pirating/killing/etc and buy some cardy. It's all valid inRP, too.
your GC ID states:

nothing about not docking at any outcast or blood dragon bases, in particular, that provide cardamine. besides, i doubt any outcasts wouldnt dig a hot GC chick taking a pit stop for some drugs.
I'm against the idea of h-fuel in the cargohold as a requirement, because I would believe that inRP, when a pilot docks his ship onto a planet/station, he/she's refueled by the the stardock team and doesn't need to do any further work. or maybe ships are built in with solar powered engines, idk. either way, it wasn't needed to be done in vanilla or so far in discovery - no changes necessary. but i feel that if there's lore surrounding outcasts and GC pertaining to the necessity of cardamine pumped into their bodies during space travel, there could be a gameplay mechanic to support it, like there is a gameplay mechanic to support ship/equipment compatibility.
I brought out this idea as i enjoy a sense of realism in my games, and I assumed other people were on the same page. Realism makes things just that - more real, lifelike, believable. and I see the point of roleplay to be a form of realism as opposed to simple pew pew my skills are better than yours.
Yet, i am much more for developers working on more important things. i'd rather not waste anyone's time.
seeing that the majority of people posting don't like this idea, maybe it's not a good one.
