Do not give survivors infinite resources
Healing is one of the most important part of survivor gameplay. Medkits, because of that are the best item in the game. Self care was the best meta perk since release and long time after it's nerf. Circle of healing is just old self care with extra steps. We were there already. Don't bring it back

so what stops survivors from blessing them again?

Since it works on all survivors answer is yes for all your questions. It is better than sc as you said and you give infinite medkits to everyone. Killer sometimes have no time to snuff a totem on other side of the map because they have gens to protect, which makes some areas just free healing stations for survivors. Forever. Idk if you're played this game in times of pre nerfed self care but it wasn't fun for killer. And it sure will not be fun again. Infinite healing should not be a thing with such little downsides

Why will you ever chase a survivor in zone without generators? They're sitting on gen, hit them and go for another gen or you'll lose the game. With boons this is not possible because they'll just run into boon, heal without a teammate and return to do a gen again. You can't afford that as killer and you'll always lose to a boon in that situation

You have absolutely not played killer then.
Lets take an example of Suffocation Pit (an H shaped map) and say the killers and survivors played well, so 2 gens on one side, and one in the middle. Lets say someone boons a totem on the other side without gens. Now when you get a hit while patrolling the gens, that survivor holds W to that side of the map.
You now have two choices:
-Chase that survivor and hope you down them in 15~ seconds (not happening unless you're nurse, blight, or spirit) and hook them, then continue patrolling
-Give up chase to continue patrolling
You loose both of these scenarios, if you chase them, you loose those gens, and if you leave them, they just heal in 16 seconds and can get right back to pressuring gens.

And this healer will be on gens instead of healing so you're pressuring 1 survivor less. Also healer can just take boon now instead of healing build and some more chase/gen perks

Yeah, but that requires the survivors occupation, and something like Desperate and/or Botany. You only need the boon and its autonomous
