Power stability of good sequences for multiple ergodic convergence

Let (sn)(s_n) be a sequence of integers, and let good for -convergence\boldsymbol{\text{good for }\ell\text{-convergence}} mean that the sequence has the corresponding multiple ergodic convergence property for every \ell-tuple of bounded functions. Power-stability conjecture. If (sn)(s_n) is good for \ell-convergence for every N\ell\in\mathbb{N}, then for every kNk\in\mathbb{N}, the sequence (snk)(s_n^k) is good for \ell-convergence for every N\ell\in\mathbb{N}. The conjecture is motivated by the known implication from good 22-convergence of (sn)(s_n) to single mean convergence of (sn2)(s_n^2); the general assertion remains open.
