Will this actually stand or will it be struck down in court like Privacy Shield?
Schrems does not think it will stand: European Commission gives EU-US data transfers third round at CJEU.
I guess it depends on how this "Data Protection Review Court" actually functions in practice. What is written on paper doesn't seem to really matter much to US agencies so we'll see how strong these safeguards actually are.
Nevertheless, it's good to see that the new agreement is finally in place at least. We've had this legal vacuum for years now and it was completely unsustainable in the long run. Sans a complete legal overhaul of the nonexistent privacy laws in the US (hah good luck with that), this is probably the best we could hope for now.
