Softforks don't require any nodes to upgrade. [1]
Nonetheless, as I understand your approach, it requires nodes to
upgrade. Otherwise they are missing all transactions but the coinbase
transactions. Thus, they cannot update their utxoset and are easily
susceptible to double spends...
Am I missing something obvious?

It just depends how you define "softfork". In my original write-up I
called it a "generalized" softfork, Peter suggested a "firm" fork, and
there are some suggestions for other names. Ultimately what you call it
is not very important.
