I should state upfront that I have no experience with green construction, but I am familiar with geotextiles.
I would imagine that the gravel layer in the USGA section would occasionally clog, but there's so much void space there that it would likely take quite a while occur. The geotextile layer in the Airfield section is essentially a impermeable material with several hundred thousand pinprick holes in it, each of which are easily clogged. Given a few years, I would imagine that clogging of those holes will become the predominant failure mode of the Airfield section. You could go with a "looser" geotextile layer, but that will just allow the fines into spacer layer.
