Yes, it could be adjusted. In its current state the hard mode only activates the toughest level/xp-based versions of encounters that have already existed. This requires adding stuff that wasn't there in the first place which wasn't within the scope of that particular feature initially. Not that this particular change is hard, of course, and therefore could be implemented.
