In baseball as in war, there are no infallible tactics. In time -- maybe surprisingly soon -- hitters will develop who can both achieve great launch angles/exit velocities and poke balls past the empty side of a shift. If the defense shifts, they'll ring up singles and doubles; if it doesn't, they'll pull the ball.
Changes in tactics don't bother me. What I dislike are artificial efforts to fit the game into some bureaucrat's notion of what he thinks people he's never associated with will like.
