FWIW, my proposal is exactly as described above.  Automatic
termination, and a procedure to reinstate the license if all
violations cease.

In terms of specifics, I think GPLv3, section 8, is fine.  Obviously
we can't just plagiarize it from them, but whatever needs to be done
to accomplish the same thing would be great.

There should not be a grace period.  There is no grace period in GPLv3.

I agree with this as well.
