A lot of IFR pilots cannot manage a taxy call let alone any new procedure.
Ouch, I'm hurt. But seriously, I do try and use both the phraseology and procedures that are in common use / work best for ATC. Partly because sounding like you know what you are doing yields better treatment and partly because what works best for you guys, generally results in a smoother ride through CTR space for Class G guys like me.

The point is that the commonly used phraseology doesn't seem to have a lot in common with the AIP. I certainly don't hear the airlines using it. I think "Go West" is closer to the mark in just concentrating on communicating the important details in a logical order, clearly and succinctly.

It seems to me that the major benefit of the changes in standard phraseology is to keep another whole workgroup occupied at CASA.

Our dogma on standard phraseology amuses me when I go to NZ or Thailand, both of whom seem to think the more words in a call the better.
