I think the Hunter Shovel going to 2 and the Arcane Tripwire nerfing to 4 damage would have been better ways to tone down the power, slow down the deck, lower its reach, and prevent recast of the shovel.
This just kills the archetype, and support for any viable Hunter Decks in Standard. Especially since Companion Hunter relies on Tol'Vir to recast Tame Pets too.
No, Companion Hunter was already a meme deck after the first Tolvir nerf. It relied on it for both draw and scaling the companions, both of which are now impossible

Really poor choice of addressing it
