Consider that most extreme experimental builds have been done and there's no room for simi-failed attempts at crazy builds on most teams so the only true heavy experiments are done on D-leagues or CPU teams... so we don't see or hear about them much.
That said, I think there's still room and attempts made at slight experiments... variations on a theme so to speak. I know I'm always trying something I've either never tried nor see done (not to say it hasn't been done by someone else somewhere... just that I've never seen it done).
The downside of trying an experimental build is finding a OC or DC that will USE your creation as it was meant to operate/be used. That and a team willing to take a chance on such a thing. It's hard to start a team and keep all dots on it from beginning to end. You usually have to work the FA market and it's not always easy to replace lost/dropped dots so you're taking a chance with an experimental build.
