Given that all missions scale to your current level anyway, why not open up all mission fronts at game start? Rather than the linear style of story that we have now, go a little open.
Each of the fronts will have their own linear progression and obviously, that would need to stay. But I see no reason we couldn't run a couple missions of the Romulan front, then go to DS9 for a couple missions to the Cardassain front, etc.
Basically, rather than one long linear line, have several lines. I just think that would help shake things up a bit.
If you want to keep the Borg at endgame, that's fine.
Just a thought.

I kind of like the idea. It would probably require a rework of the loot that the missions give so that the loot is rewarded by its place in your leveling arc rather than the leveling arc. Because of that I doubt it would be done, but nonetheless I think the idea has merit.
I'll sell you some weapons from New Romulus. Never fired, only dropped once.
If they do, they should also make the quest starters for them be local; you don't even get the first quest of the story line unless you happen to walk near the quest giver. He or she will give you the rest of the story line until it's done, but you have to discover (obviously many folks will use the wiki of course) the beginning of it.

You could expand Starfleet Headquarters and have different offices there. Sort of how the Pentagon has offices for CENTCOM, NORCOM, etc. You walk in there and you just walk down the hall of the command that overseas the respective arc. From there, you are given the "Go to [Insert Starbase]" mission to start the arc.
