Putting it into the game until they solve the underlying issue (lack of server power) would be the most stupidest thing they could do, since it'd just cause more problems from constantly getting locked out of your house due to lack of instances and rendering the housing system unusable during any sort of prime-time hour range.
If the server limitations were that severe a problem, we still wouldn't be able to get into the wards or Island Sanctuary.

You're talking withholding potential content from players due to a very temporary congestion problem caused by an unusually high volume of players at content released. Might as well shut down the game every time a log in queue exceeds 100 players in that case.

Instanced housing would not have long term congestion problems as you imply. If that were true we'd already having those problems every single day, especially on servers like Balmung where housing is a lot more important to players and use is more frequent.
