Not sure about you but I only use the smallest most finest pixies :)

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I think that cyrstarium housing would be a wonderful idea. I can imagine the ward with all the beautiful architecture and crystals, with homes lining the streets. Lore wise I'm not sure how this would work, but that's kinda negligible if there is a strong player demand for it. I just hope they don't go about it the same way they did with Ishgard. Sure it was fun and new for a while, but imo it got old and drawn out pretty fast.
Not before Idyllshire. :(
There was a who-ha? I heard of no who-ha...
Besides, if it comes end of EW you can unsync those raids and it will be a breeze. Or just leave the plot hole there I honestly don't care. If a player, such as yourself, will never do that content why should the rest of us do without housing because of it?
As others have already covered, the Empty isn't inhabitable until you've personally started it on that path. And the "years could have passed" doesn't work unless you also expect to come back and find that everyone you know there has grown older. The game doesn't work that way, especially when you may still have sidequests to do that take place before the hypothetical "years passing".
Sure! More housing in general ^^
