I like the new idea of how to build trust in order to improve relations. There is however a problem: Once you enter an alliance with someone else your entrance doors into building trust (gurantee of indipendence and non-agression treaties) are taken away. This more or less means you have to wait for outside threats in order to get more members and eventually go for a federation.
I understand why the individual ability to gurantee and non-agression is taken away. It just might snowball since you can target a larger and larger group with each new member. On the other hand you left the individual rivalies in ...
So my suggestion is to let alliances decide unamiously who to gurantee, rival and give other treaties (like non-agression). There is of course the question how to deal with AI alliance partners but here one could introduce a preference trade so I agree to gurantee civ A when you agree we rival B maybe with allowing some resource transaction as grease (esspecially for bigger alliances where not everyone will get to pick one).
