Heck I would even try a crazy college football style 2 minute powerplay against 2 minute powerplay before having a shootout.

That is essentially what 3 on 3 is.
It isn't exactly 'real hockey' (i.e. 5 on 5). But it is a hell of a lot closer to it than a shootout is. And (much like your football analogy), it's far more likely to produce a victory than regular overtime would (assuming you have time constraints).
