as for 2 sided tape, the 3m trim tape for putting trim on cars is incredible. but, it needs to be pushed on evenly in my experience.
the other thing is that ceiling may be more brittle than when it was new. the one in my bedroom has several cracks in it.
is the plastic glued to a masonite piece and then that is glued to the ceiling? drilling the old plastic to put fasteners in i would suspect will result in some cracks. but you wouldnt know until you do it.
if all that is holding it in is the 8 puck lights, i would probably just take it down and put it back up after you have really sized it up and figured out what will hold it the best. adhesive or tape. the nice thing about the tape is it is immediate. no propping up. you would just need to have 3 people or so to help do it.
