There are no guarantees about human behavior. And "making the perfect the enemy of the better" is not a productive argument. But from economics we know that providing incentives is likely to change behavior. And the substantial research and analysis from that discipline is the basis for making this proposal. I will tell you that the same thing is HIGHLY likely to occur WITHOUT the pre season announcement. If you want to change behavior (which the GDC apparently wants to do) then you need to change the incentives and structure. It's unlikely to change on a wide scale without these types of changes.
Plus 254 (and 1678) stepped up their assistance in the pits responding to the incentives provided in January. I can tell you that our team would have reached out much earlier if we had known about the game structure in the fall. January was too late to reach out effectively.
