Two different issues then.
The bunker is clearly a good idea, but it will only work if they have enough cameras at every game to do that.
I can't remember whether it's a suggestion or a part of this but I'm pretty sure they are putting concussion 'spotters' in place to do what you say.
The clubs should look at this anyway. The physio team shouldn't be watching play, the good ones watch the aftermath of the play.
In terms of the rule change, it's up to the coaches and players to adapt.
For one thing, off loading players have a bit more freedom to keep their head up.
The only adjustment to the rule I would make is to decide when the attacking player has caused the 'illegal tackle'.
If someone runs with their head down and leads with the head into a tackle, that can't be the same as a tackle where the defender has aimed up to dominate the tackle by taking the ball carrier high.
This 'death of the sport emergency call' was sounded when scrums went none competitive and when shoulder charge was outlawed. We survived and adapted then. We'll survive and adapt now.
