I don't think we need to add time. The idea is to discourage draws to the point that there will be no 1/2 point. Players will need to budget their time when this method is employed. It would be like losing on time... it happens.
If I am playing in this system and I see we are heading for a draw, then I better a) offer the draw to start the new game or b) move fast to have enough time for the tie-breaker.
