But it's actually not inefficient with Crystal Joy, because now you get the mana back immediately and get the card back at end of turn, so nothing is wasted. It's just a free wound discard.
Of course it's inefficient. You're using one mana + one card to get one mana. That's a net loss of a card, just to change the color of mana. It's equally inefficient whether you do it with Crystallize or Crystal Joy; the difference in the latter case is that you get a side benefit, but it doesn't decrease the inefficiency of your turn.
