In practice I have not found the new breeding change to be much of a big deal after all. Most of the time I get a clone on the first try when I breed two of a kind. Sometimes it takes two or three tries, no big deal. The Sandbox says the odds of a clone are 20 percent now on the island, but personally I've gotten much better results than that. Maybe I've just been lucky, but the rule change does not really seem to crimp breeding much at all.

Also, one thing I really like about the new rules is that it's now easier to breed some limited epics. Since the change, I've been able to breed both a second Apocalypse dragon and a second Celtic. I believe I had zero chance of doing that under the old rules. So there are some definite positives to the new wide-open rules!
