Without divulging too much strategy, I will say is that you can completely surprise your opponents if you skip the outer goal in the end game and try to hit the bonus ball in the upper goal after a very successful autonomous. So yes, high goal is still a formidable strategy. The game we did it was still ~150 pts or so, and combined with other maneuvers and the advantageous positioning it gave us, I'm sure we could have kept the other alliance's score below that.
