I understand your proposal, but I don't see what it accomplishes compared to applying the new rule from the start (in your own blocks) and wait for 95% for consensus activation (which is my preference and it's much simpler to implement).
What are the disadvantages of my approach? What are the advantages of yours?

Until it becomes a consensus rule it is just part of the standard policy (and we shouldn't rely on nodes following the standard policy).
It would be a consensus rule. If >75% of the blocks in the last 2016 window have the bit set, then reject all blocks that have the bit set and fail to meet the rule.
