90% of targeting fouls on a tackle involve a defender trying to hit or blow up the offensive player mostly with the shoulder. They usually aren't wrapping up. They become a missile or Superman trying to hit someone rather than tackling. That's where the head becomes a force in the hit. What you describe very rarely results in targeting.

It's not a major impact to the game because there might only be 3 or 4 games at all levels per season that get to a fifth OT. In 10 years of college officiating I haven't had 5 OT combined in all my games. This is just a way to shorten those rare games that go that far.

Today when targeting goes to replay you could have a decision of "stands". That means there wasn't enough information to overturn but it also wasn't enough to confirm. When that happened the player was still ejected and the penalty enforced. Now it's either confirmed of overturned. The "stands" situation will now be an overturn.
The suspension for the second offense in a season I assume will be for the entirety of the next game. It may have already been a half of it happened in the second half, but now it will be for the entire game regardless of when it happened.
NAIA makes it a full game suspension for targeting at any time. A player could lose nearly 2 gates if he's guilty of targeting early on the game.

A lot of those type of plays happen farther away from the line of scrimmage. Meaning players are moving much faster. Plus recurves often tuck and lower their body at the last minute which lowers the contact zone. Your version of a perfect wrap up tackle cannot happen at all angles and maximum speeds
