Reasons a team should use those designs would be that they are what works for that team and because they would be the most effective for that challenge, not because some other really good team has done it so let's do what they do.
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.
