The thing is that injection molding machines already work this way even in dirty environments (no need of clean room) and can produce clean and perfect parts. High quality plastics are already available in pellets, and using them in an FFF machine seems to me the perfect future, because we can get better and more diversified supply of plastics for a cheaper price.
The challenge, in my view, is to be able to incorporate a high quality and small extruder in our FFF machines.

I think it's a question of filament quality..
If you make your own filament, you'll maybe get it to work, but you'll definetly not get a high quality filament.
You'd have to work in a clean room (or at least a very clean room), with no dirt or dust on the pellets (I guess industrial filament makers clean the pellets right before processing them?...).
Filament quality is a big factor of overall print quality. If you want to maximise print quality, I guess that's a no go...
