I've been thinking about this, and I've been wondering on a solution. Especially to the 'timeout to a challenge' thing, on top of challenging little plays/technicalities. I think I've found an elegant solution.
For video review to determine if a puck crossed the goal line or not, there are no changes, and no time limits.
For ALL other challenges, period, no questions about it or what it's about, it costs you your time out. Additionally, the challenge review period is 30 seconds...the length of the time out it cost you. If, after 30 seconds, it's not conclusively decided, then it's clearly inconclusive.
A team also only gets one per game. You get your time out OR a challenge. You do not get your time out back no matter which direction the challenge goes (for or against).
That ought to tighten up using challenges.
