Personal opinion: I'm glad Google and Apple are working on this. Because a very likely possibility if they don't, is that the governments demand further access to devices, backdoors to software, and enhanced power related to data collection and use.
Rationally, this would boil down to whether you trust your government or the tech companies more with this data, and opinions will vary.
My, admittedly high level, review of this proposal is that it seems to have a good privacy design. As I understand it, the contact information never leaves your device.
