The Top Rated Seller requirements haven't actually changed, so if you qualify for TRS now, you'll qualify when all the new programs have been implemented and - supposedly - still get a bit of a boost in rankings (moreso than non-TRS sellers, anyway).
When all the changes have finally been implemented, there won't actually be Top Rated Seller badges of any kind displayed on listings or in search results, as they're switching it to 'eBay Premium Service' for listings that meet the requirements, and the Top Rated badge will go the same way as the Power Seller logo (visible only to the seller).
I will not be making the adjustments to my listings that will qualify for the TRS+ / Premium Service thing, but the one good thing about that program is that it's listing-specific, so you can choose to have some, none, or all of your listings qualify. So if you think you would benefit from having some items higher up, you could perhaps compromise and find a few suitable items to offer all the required services, and hope they help bring attention to your other items.
