It wouldn’t work. For one Dragon Ball Z already closely followed the manga just with filler and padding out the ass to keep the manga ahead. So removing the filler (well most of it) allowed it to claim to be “The Akira Toriyama Cut”
The 90s Sailor Moon anime takes some cues from the manga but it pretty much does it’s own thing especially after the Masquerade episode.
Another thing is so much of the “filler” in Sailor Moon is tied to the main story (as opposed to Dragon Ball Z where most of the filler is extraneous and expendable)The Tuxedo Mask love letter episode is technically filler but it’s important for establishing Naru’s crush on Nephrite and him preying on her. The Ail/En arc would be entirely filler but it establishes how the girls and Mamoru got their memories back and how Usagi got her Crystal power transformation and Cutie Moon Rod.
And then S-Sailor Stars are so tied to their victim of the day formula skipping “the filler” would absolutely destroy any sense of pacing. For example you need all the filler in S to allow for build up to “Who has the talisman sealed away in their heart crystals!”
Otherwise it just goes Rei, Usagi, drummer girl where Chibi Usa shows up, Minako (where the Guardian Senshi and Outers learn each others mutual identities) and Neptune snd Uranus.
