I voted no. Making the only way to TBD extend a rookie so that you have to pay him $20mm would severely devalue all but the highest of 1st round picks, as it is highly unlikely that players picked outside of the top 5 will be worth spending max money on at the end of their rookie deal. This will in turn create an influx of quality young talent that, while not elite just yet, could potentially be in time (see Hector Reed, for instance). These guys flooding into the market would make it easier for capped out teams who are competing to add cheap talent and maintain their dominance. The very problem this rule is supposed to be fixing would, in fact, make it worse.
You're better off simply getting rid of the TBD extension system entirely, and coming up with another way of helping teams retain their talent. Educating the GMs on how to improve their chances of keeping those players would be the best option without creating more needless rules.

I agree with your notion of non elite talent. We could maybe tweak the rule to adjust the salary based off draft position, performance and so on. I agree with Kyle's post that one of the biggest issues is the rng extension offer, but that can't be changed. I don't think educating GMs does anything. Most of us know about increasing loyalty and what not and it still comes down to dumb luck sometimes. I've had lots of players with A loyalty not offer jack. I'd like to see how this rule goes. If we don't like it then we tweak it or get rid of it. The league is in a good place but I don't see why we shouldn't still evaluate ways we could maybe improve it or add new wrinkles to it.
