Also, goaltenders today just don’t play as many games as they use to, so finding instances of goalies who play 60-70 games will be more difficult in general. Irregardless, in the history of the game, there have been plenty of big workload goalies who have won Cups/appearances.

Glenn Hall started 502 straight and even won a cup in the final year of that run...so yes, it is possible. He didn't even wear a helmet/mask for the entire streak...he's just a human after all so that should still be possible today?
Perhaps there is a reason goalies aren't playing quite as much these days? Like the people who make these decisions for a living have evolved their thinking for some reason...
