I would be extremely worried about it too.
I guess I would either go into the long-term 12-month lease business or sell out to someone foolish enough to want to do that.
I used to stay in RV parks in California years ago and I still remember how adamant they were about limiting my length of stay to 29 days. You WILL remove yourself on the 29th day or they will remove you.
I seriously doubt that Airbnb is able to do anything about removing unwelcome guests, particularly in California.
The fact is that California wants to put you out of business and if this little trap doesn’t do it they will think of something else.
I’m wondering if there is some way to legally avoid the minimum length of stay requirement. After all, there are hordes of “time share” schemes, with millions of dollars behind them, and I doubt that they are going to get shut down.
Maybe you could turn your triplex into a timeshare but retain all the “temporary deeds” yourself? Then you could offer “prospective buyers” a few days to visit for a modest cleaning and service charge. NOT RENT. NO SIR, we definitely do not charge rent, ever.
It would take a California attorney to set this up, and I suspect that someone is working on it right now.
Good luck. You will need it.
