Then again, week one may just reveal there is still an abundance of disks on the floor anyways and this adjustment would be a moot point, right? We are counting on your team to show the way...;)

I think there will be plenty of disks on the ground from missed shots. They will almost all be right-side up however. If humans could throw in the last 30 seconds the ground pick-up teams would encounter a lot more discs that are upside down. The rule change seems to have the biggest affect on those who invested resources into reorienting the disks, or especially those who specialized in the upside down disc. So, if you throw some in at the last minute (and I'd rather we didn't) then throwing them in upside down would make the most sense.
