Orthogonally to the other proposals for PTB I would suggest to not carry over the time bonus across seasons: at season start every driver should be on a blank slate. Moreover, with inter-season carryover, on the final race of the year drivers with nothing at stake would be incentivized to alter their replay posting habits to try to carry as many hours as possible to the new season, i.e. staying just below the 132.5 or the 265 threshold. A ruleset should not force the competitors to pursue these strange goals.

I agree, and I'm fairly sure we won't have that. Inter-season carryover was an acceptable compromise under the old LTB rules, but it really isn't so with PTB.
