Fortunately, that shouldn't happen since they said it's "infantry" and "small weapon teams" only. Not entirely sure what constitutes as small weapon teams myself.

Good change.

1. Risk vs. added Reward of placing buildings further forward
2. Slightly speeds up games, COH2 matches are way too long

Not only are MG34's buffed with more accuracy and on the HQ, Grenade range also are reduced when suppressed. So MG's will have more breathing room.

Alright I am going to make this very clear, changing the spawn system is a HORRIBLE idea, for obvious reasons that some people in this thread who haven't played the game for years just don't see.
Reason 1: Changing the spawn would cause horrible imbalance for unit timing when for example Brits and USF have a specific base structure for their factions.
Reason 2: This whole argument for "more competitive play due to spawn positioning being defensive or aggressive now" is ridiculous considering 90% of the time unless you're unable to defend your tier building nothing will destroy it until the late game. It wont add to anything strategically to be honest other than the timing of your units coming out of your base or where you'd like to move map wise, which doesn't allow for more tactical play like some would think, unless you're in VCoH.
Reason 3: Base structures were meant to be kept INSIDE of your base, not on the outskirts unless you wanted slow reinforce times while moving onto the battlefield. It's a unique CoH2 experience putting your base structures in an assorted order that would allow for reinforcing while moving towards the front.
Reason 4: Having units spawn onto the battlefield instead of from a base structure allowed for more fluent gameplay overall for the timing of when units hit the field and when someone could anticipate an armored car or mg for example, with these changes maxim spam and sniper domination early game will become a serious issue off the bat, especially considering the other proposed changes to be implemented.
