To clarify, No Subs - sure, if someone fouls out, then yes, don't make them play with 4. But no Subs as in switching out players for the most part.
But to the person who thinks they will be too tired? Whatever. They can play 3 straight minutes of basketball without any big problems.
I actually think this will increase the likelyhood of comebacks. Instead of a team playing a possession game for 24 seconds, the 18 second rule makes them shoot it faster. It pretty much ensures that a team will get 5 possessions trying to make a comeback in the final 3 minutes. The fouls will decrease the amount of guaranteed points that on the board making it possible for bigger swings.

Intentional fouls mean either one free throw or two depending on the bonus. It also means the team that fouled can regain posession, that's the point of intentionally fouling. If you're down one with 15 seconds left and not in possession under your rules the game would be over. As it is the team trailing would be able to foul, regain possession either by a rebound off a miss or after a make, and have the opportunity to tie or win. Your rules basically kill the ability to stage a comeback. That is horrible.
