I thought the consensus at the tournaments where the crease was used was that they did work, albeit that the size and shape might need tweaking.
It's not goal*keeping *that's the problem, it's repeatedly stacking 2/3 defensive players immediately around the goal. A crease would be difficult to introduce (is there such a thing as temporary spray paint, and if so would we be allowed to use it at tournaments and throw-ins?) but probably more achievable than persuading every scene in the world to make new goals.
I reckon that if a crease was introduced at tournaments, people would abandon the stacked-goalie technique even at throw-ins where there is no crease because what's the point practising/relying on a technique you can't use in tournaments?
