While I'm an advocate for xroads being removed completely, That does sound cool. Brings to mind the warp tiles from that old N64 game Gauntlet Legends.
But short of xroads being removed (or more accurately, not implemented into hafen) A nice solution could be a distance cap on xroads, coupled with a debuff for using them in quick succession, your first xroad jump, not a large debuff, and the negative effects go away after a short while, But if you jump again too quickly then the effects get substantially worse, and last longer, with a longer time period until you can jump without worsening it and so on so forth, until either you simply can't jump again, or you end up unconscious at your destination.
It's not a perfect (or even a particularly great idea) But I do think there ought to be a penalty, or at the very least a negative side to crossroads that goes beyond being cured by a glass of wine.
There could also be an overhaul, comprising of, basically, A master xroad, capable of being connected to the large milestones within it's radius, or under the claim of it's village, something like that. To fit in with the roads. *shrugs*
