I won't get into a discussion about the merits of various systems or philosophies of when a promotion is valid.

The best way you'll get some quality information to answer your question is to look into different organizations' requirements, different teachers' attitudes about promotion (what a "shodan" is, etc.), and then get your own gut-level feelings about the relative skill levels of individuals in these different groups. Make up your own mind.

First hand experience is the best.

Good luck in your search.
