I think it is appalling. As you say, the lack of understanding for the fans (and probably players) is a negative. Of course they will claim it will be for important decisions but that is vague. Where will it stop? You cannot put the whole of a game of football under a microscope. The irony being that the Ifab are currently looking at making halves last 30 minutes with the clock stopping when the ball is not in play to deter time wasting. Another ludicrous suggestion. Just penalise the time-wasters heavier and add the exact time on.
