This is an excellent new feature. There are clients who would just as soon not have to handle this chore themselves.
Once it's been working for a while, perhaps Upwork could consider extending it to apply to new clients with whom the freelancer has exchanged messages, as Kim suggested.

Michael's post and Avery's response both raise a bunch of questions for me (not having used this feature).
Since it's brand new, how can we know that proposals aren't usually approved "at the first go"?
If the client doesn't like the specific terms, doesn't the client have the option of making a different offer, as he would if this were a proposal submitted in response to a job posting?

Exactly... when setting up the offer the client can edit it to reflect what was discussed.
I would hazard a guess that most of those "propose a new contract" things are created following some preliminary discussions and things are pretty much decided at the stage of it being sent. I hope freelancers won't use this feature to bombard clients with tons of spurious "Give me Job Please Sir!" proposals.
In cases where there are changes decided upon during the discussions following the proposal the client can work them into the offer.
