Changes to what?
The only thing close to consensus as an amendment is balanced budget and that's only because everyone still has their own idea about how it will work.
It's an almost exact parallel to repealing the ACA. Everyone is for it until a specific scenario takes shape - with all it's warts. Then it all goes pear-shaped
The ACA repeal has been a genuine debacle but will seem like legislative genius compared to what would happen at a COS.
The COS is a tool to implement a solution, not a solution in itself. The first step is to agree on the solution.

Bingo.
Fiscal conservatives view a balanced budget amendment as a means to cut socialist spending and rein in FedGov by reducing the power of the purse.
In contrast, the establishment views a balanced budget amendment as a means to raise taxes to match spending by the leviathan. It’s the perfect mechanism to blame for runaway spending instead of the who are politicians voting for both the discretionary spending and the related mandatory tax hikes.
