“The secular Zionist government will stop pressuring the Chareidim to enter the draft if an alternative is offered that allows Chareidim to work.”

The premise of the question is wrong, or at least misleading. The current version of the law allows all charedim over the age of 22 to enter the workforce despite not having served in the IDF, and with no penalty. So the law will have the effect of allowing a large proportion of the charedi population to immediately join the workforce with no bureaucratic barriers.
