Fascinating concept, just not sure I see a big advantage over barbless for trouts and smaller fish like our local salmon, since once in the rubber net the hook usually comes out on its own.
Big fish, though could definitely benefit from hooks that release the fish when they're within netting distance.

Edit: forgot about bigger fish.
