Its not immediately clear to me how this would reduce the number of career minor leaguers in MLB. Perhaps you have some data and conclusions?

By giving them other places to play. So instead of being a career minor leaguer, they become a career Indy leaguer.
With roster, age and play time limits for the minors, in theory this should force more players to be released and stop teams from hoarding players. Though this will only lead to the FA list becoming exceptionally large if they don't have somewhere else to play, they don't seem to retire at a fast enough rate if they don't sign anywhere, so it's best to provide other Indy leagues.
