I'd be fine with #1.
As for the pace of play changes, I think it's all a bunch of BS. The reason games take longer today than they did say 40 years ago is because of all of the tv commercials. If you want to get some time back, remove some commercials. They won't do that because it would cost revenue. So, instead they need to create this BS rules.
You limit the amount of visits to the mound and you save maybe 10-15 minutes per game when commercials are like 45-60 minutes of time over the course of the game.
I think they should embrace the game for what it is. It's just a slow game.
