What do you suggest?
1. Treat the backboard like the rim?
2. leave a subjective decision to the official on whether it altered or affected the shot?
3. another option?

No one has suggested making this require any more judgment than what is already needed for the other BI scenarios. The backboard needs to be treated the same as the rim and net. It can have as much an affect as hitting the net. However, I'm not asking that the official judge the affect. Only whether or not the backboard was hit while the ball was on the rim or in the basket. Just like we do today for the rim and net.
