Wouldn't be impossible at all. That's how it worked between 1998 and 2004. Also, if your goal is to slow the game down, a smaller neutral zone actually aids that.
That being said, there is an argument that making the offensive zones bigger decreased the effectiveness of the point shot (greater distance to goal), so putting all lines back to the pre-1998 alignment is also an argument I can get behind.
