The long drawn out matches that would go to overtime are most likely a control mirror with similar abilities to inflict damage and be either high or low on life at the start of the overtime. Yes, it would be prone to abuse with people stalling at the end of a long match if they had a superior life total, however the DCI already has rules in place to punish stalling players. And again either deck would likely be in position to have the superior life total at that point.

Having fetches be unplayable in a Legacy OT is unacceptable.
^This.
Not only is shuffling up for a new game 3 to play to sudden death complete bullshit if either deck runs burn or fetchlands, but it could have quite the opposite effect instead of bringing the match to a quick end.

Imagine if you will control vs. control going to sudden death. Noone will break fetchlands, the match could continue on for a very long time, might as well just do 5 turns then life. Atleast that gives control decks w/ Force of Will and fetches some chance in the overtime situation.
