But, this would all depend on whether or not this congestion is caused by a significant amount of exploiters, or if the servers are mostly filled with genuine players, and the tradeoffs that come with hammering the login servers with all the people wanting to get in AS WELL AS all of the people who were already in who want to get back.

I do think it's something they should be looking into though, just 'cause it worked so well back then.
I'd imagine that most people playing right now are players trying to maximize their playtime. Sure, some are probably attempting to exploit the system by keeping themselves logged in by interacting with stuff, but that's probably a small number. Most people just want to log in and actually play. So no, I don't see it actually being beneficial. There's far too many trying to log in right now for such a measure to matter.
