My biggest problem with that set of rule changes, is one line in the "Contested Dropouts" rule:
Any rule that includes "in the opinion of" is not a rule, but more of a guideline that will be interpreted differently by different referees, and possibly even by the same ref at different times in the same game.
It won't come up more than once in a season never mind a game. Basically it's closing a loophole that would have been created. Without this, someone could just kick it an inch with seconds left to allow a half/game to end rather than risk the opposition fielding the drop out. You could substitute the words 'in the opinion of the ref' before every rule tbf, they're all down to his/her judgement.
