There's nothing wrong with investigating "crazy new designs" from a learning perspective, the reality is just that in real life when you get a job you don't innovate for the sake of innovating, you only do it when existing solutions do not provide the solution to your problem.
Innovative is also not synonymous with good, or indicative of sound engineering. Both are important.
