I think this still leaves garden leave on the table. The thing that can no longer happen is an employer ending it's relationship with an employee and preventing them from continuing their career after the fact. Garden leave was in fact one of the least bad outcomes of a non-compete as I understand it.

I don't recall where I saw it, but I believe the FTC clarified and said that garden-leave type arrangements aren't covered under their ban.
