I think the answer is yes. However, offsides would be easier to implement and introducing this amount of technology to a professional sport should start with the easy wins.
When you think about what Amazon is trying to do in the Kraken arena with the automated food and beverage shops trying to track dozens of people and hundreds of items to make a seamless shopping experience... tracking ~16 bodies on the ice (in distinct uniforms) and 1 object to determine if the play is onside/offside as the object crosses a big blue line should be incredibly simple.
If they could get rid of that one situation where goals are being called back because of a missed offside call then that is an improvement to the fan experience. We would all rather have offsides be called down immediately and accurately than go through the excitement of having your team score only to have the goal nullified.
