intuition

I am not as sure as you whether or not elite priority boarding promotes space hogging, but I agree on it being a growing problem.

One driving factor for increasing number of ludicrous-sized tow-aboards, is the check-in luggage fee, and AY do allow all tickets at least one bag free of charge.

So my view is: Boarding groups will probably work better than what is offered today, and I'm happy they are doing it. And regardless of how it is done, a stricter enforcing of carry on rules should be implemented, including the prevention of its ugly cousin "dump bags in business class section and your ... in economy".
