Proposals I like (ref: JO fastpitch game only):

Good. Eliminates the silly (IMO) prior notification requirement.

In the JO game, players enter the game when told to. This is a coaching brain cramp usually, and around here is brought on because 90% of the games played are under local bat the roster, unlimited sub rules, so the coach pays a high price for the learning curve in championship play.

I like adding the 12/4 rule to the book. (The 7/5... why???? Sounds suspiciously based on a single situation / game...)

Good, penalty was way too harsh for a delay violation.

The keep the foot in is unnecessary. The 10 second time is sufficient for controlling wandering players.

Good change for handling clueless / malicious baserunning. But, unless umpires actually call OBS for runners avoiding a fielder without the ball, this is a significant disadvantage to the offense.
