The most interesting to me is 2 shots on the 5th foul of each qtr. I like this change. It "should" help the flow of the game in the last 10 min (now the 4th qtr) and by reducing the number of free throws where boxing out is needed, should reduce the opportunity for rough play.
It may not work as hoped, but I would like to see how it works.

I've heard eliminating some of the physicality is one of the reasons behind the two-shot rule as opposed to going to one-and-one (the very old NFHS rule).
Not resetting the 10-second count rewards the defense. There shouldn't be an issue with the shot-clock since nothing changes for the operator (assuming the shot-clock was above 25 when the throw-in was made in the backcourt). Whistle blows, stop clock. Done. It'll actually be more of an issue on possessions which start with under 30.0 on the game clock since we're required to have a visible count. I can see someone forgetting their number every now and then - though all they'd have to do is go to the play-by-play if they forgot.
