Shot clock = 18 seconds for the final 3 minutes.
Basically, you get exciting finishes to games, and a losing team has a real chance to come back if they make their shots (and not to mention can do it in very entertaining fashion) instead of this lame foul parade.

I'd revise that to be one time out per team in the final two minutes, and/or 2 timeouts in the last three minutes.
Subs don't take much time, refs just need to make sure they happen quickly.
Intentional fouls already mean free throws + possession, so I don't know what you are changing there.
Changing the shot clock length probably doesn't affect the length of the end game very much.
