Crisis was good like you said, but the stakes just got too high too fast and pretty much every other threat in the universe now seems like it's a result of a breech. Having the Green Arrow & Flash on the same Earth was really cool because, unlike other shows, there wasn't some abstract concept like alternate universes blocking them, they could literally run into each other without special circumstances, what happened to them effected the other, etc.

When you add in an infinite multiverse suddenly everything can be part of the Arrowverse. Then Flash and Green Arrow being on the same Earth doesn't really mean as much. The Multiverse works decently enough in comics but in live-action & cinematic universes, unless it's handled really carefully, just becomes jarring.
