It would get some action.
It won't get any action because they would lose many more subs from all the maintenance downtime required to redo the whole housing system from scratch. And that's not assuming they'd have to remake the whole coding framework of the game from scratch which would basically be months of the game being inacessible (and no, they won't keep the game up while essentially making a new game in the background, which would then take years to finish).

The system is here to stay, band-aids are the best you can expect (and the more band-aids they introduce, the farther away a whole new housing system goes anyway) and the only way it's changing is if they decide to do another Realm Reborn or just waiting for the next MMO.
