Should Asst refs stop signalling for offside?

I thought Lovell's point about offside was interesting today. He suggested that the assistant ref shouldn't signal for offside, but if a goal was scored, VAR could check it.
If a goal wasn't scored, the game just continues.
As we know, whether the flag is raised or not, VAR checks every goal and confirms offside or not.
Dundee's offside goal was a case in point. It was clearly off, but VAR double checked despite the flag having gone up.
I haven't thought this idea through but it might lead to fewer stoppages and I think it's worth discussion.
