I find your argument both confusing and amusing. The individual state does not call for a generic convention to decide whatever the delegetes agree on. For your nightmare scenario to happen, 31 states would have to call for a convention and then say “hey, we are not sure why we are calling this, so why don’t you guys just come up with something. Nothing specific. We are sure we will like it. Just go vote and make things better.”
The states do not commission the delegates to bring up whatever suits their fancy. They are DELEGATED (that word has a meaning) to present the argument that the STATE LEGISLATOR (which has control over the appointment of the delegate) has enumerated. The delegate has authority to do that, and nothing else.
If s/he were to do “something else” then the state could recall the delegate and revoke his/her delegated powers OR could simply not vote to confirm whatever mess this “runaway convention” came up with.
Have you ever heard of Michael Farris?

But there is no enumerated constitutional basis to limit the scope of an Article V convention once called, even if the individual state petitions state such limited scope under threat of withdrawing their petition if subjects other than the enumerated ones are considered. Saying it doesn't necessarily make it so.
Once such an Article V convention was called, all hell could break loose by Blue states proposing all sorts of nonsense that per the constitution would have to be considered by all of the states without sunset.
