I much more concerned about the PRACTICAL effect of this decree.

I actually agree...but I am more concerned that modernist diocesan bishops who haven't yet succumbed to the "chronological solution" (shall we say delicately) may use this as an excuse to unjustly place restrictions on clergy in their dioceses.

But jubilation on the part of the modernists or needless, inappropriate apocalyptic visions of doom on the part of the orthodox do nothing to help.

Well, you yourself are using hyperbole toward the end of that. I don't see criticism as needless, either, because every avalanche starts with a single snowflake on a slippery slope. We would be negligent to not point out incremental movements in an undesirable direction.
