As an academic and regular submitter to arXiv, this is an eminently sensible policy. I like that it's per-submitter and not per-author, that means that the big labs with large collaborations shouldn't be terribly put out (more authors = more submission budget).
I hope something like this could also be adopted for some of our larger conferences - the absolute limits on co-authorship are what seem to cause the most grumbles.
It is the usually that LHC experiments (and HEP in general) secretariat office is the one handling the submission to arXiv and journals per policy (avoid people conflicts and managing it centrally because the papers under the name of the collaboration not individuals. Sometimes papers can also be submitted by author directly but not the physics results papers and papers which is signed off by the whole collaborations (computing and ML stuff mainly).
I would think arXiv can work something out for these cases.
Not for any neutrino experiment I know of. There are paper committees that govern publication but the actual preprint submission to arXiv is always done by one of the authors.

Yes, I also expect special cases would be defined.
