I think it’s pretty neat, at least from a commander perspective. Making non-legendary creatures into legendary creatures can add some cool synergies with cards like Ratadrabik of Urborg.

I think not being able to move it between creatures without paying mana or life would be flavorful enough of a downside without really being a downside. The idea being that whoever has the ring isn’t going to want to let it go.
I think the thing with people not wanting to play with it when it had downsides is more some people don’t like playing it with downsides. Especially newer players who are scared of things like shocklands, having not yet learned that life is a resource. And this set will have a lot of people who haven’t played before who are interested because it is Lord of the Rings.
