>> Would not this just level the seal? <<

No. Since the hinge is on the side, there is more pressure away from the hinge where the lever is longer. This would work (more or less, but probably not really) if the force was coming from above the key, perpendicular to the tone hole. If simply heating the key and letting it close with its spring would create a good seal then installing pads would be much easier and faster than it is.
