I hate it.
'Best case' scenario no-one really cares about it until the final, and then the final is treated as a fun exhibition game.
Worst case scenario, rather than adding meaning to Test series it takes it away and creates 'JAM Tests'.
Test series never needed more context. They just needed more opportunities for poorer cricketing nations to play more Tests and longer series. It was entirely possible to create a binding FTP without also creating a contrived league no-one needed or asked for.
