At that point, I would prefer to just scrap OT. No need for two gimmicks if they both have the same value.

I actually think that a 4 on 4 OT motivated by some urgency because you have fewer available points if it goes to a shootout would be quite exciting. As would the end of the third period if both teams would be losing a possible point by not ending it before OT. Basically, exactly the opposite of the current situation. Right now, teams want to go to OT because they are guaranteed a point and can still earn full points. If you can’t earn the full number of points by winning in OT, you don’t want the game to go to OT.
