Org my DD plays for is pretty competitive. You have to try out and earn your position every year, starting at 12U. No one is "invited back" to the team. Most make it because of the competitive atmosphere, but always a couple that don't make the team.
I do like the idea of each girl trying out to earn a spot.
I think my hesitation is based on how we have done it every other year. We have always invited most/all girls back, and I think each family assumes the same thing will happen again this year. If I ask everyone to tryout, I do risk the chance that a few of our better players may want to go to other tryouts too. Maybe I am overthinking it since we have not done true open tryouts in the past.

This is nonsense. If a coach doesn't know who the player is after having her for an entire season, another 2 hour workout on Sunday afternoon isn't going to change that.

This should be advertised asWe have returning go through the tryout, but they have roster spots.
Really, its more so the potential new players can see who we have on the team, how they interact, and where they might fit in. Also, we can get the returning players feedback on the personalities/attitude of the new players.
