In my view, amateur radio contesting needs or will soon need a new rule -
only the human mind may be used for real-time extraction of intelligence from
received signals.

Be wary of getting what you ask for.
If there are to be any new CW operators in the future - unfortunately not a
certainty - it will probably be from people combining a code reader and a
speaker. Watching and listening to repetitive patterns - CQs, 5NN OH, your own
callsign - will be the start of learning code as one recognizes by ear what
one sees on the screen.
I don't think many people will want to go through the work of learning the
code before they operate, but some just might learn the code while they
operate.
