Leave as is. This would only create moderate confusion (the is no confusion-less model at this point). This is the most enforcable, and likely way.
Allow teams to choose which version to use. This is the hardest to enforce but easier on teams. How will the refs keep track of what team on the field uses which cylinder orientation?
Remove horizontal restrictions when climbing (leave the 54" pyramid buffer). Hurts confidence and adds confusion, but not as much as reverting TU3...

I bolded the last option because I actually believe it's a good one. I don't think it would hurt confidence; it might restore some (it would for me, because it's more reasonable, and fair to teams that already had a workable design). It would not be very confusing, and easier to enforce.
It would be good to hear from some past inspectors and referees on the enforceability question.
