I think the lower league clubs need the revenue from the outstanding games so playing behind closed doors will never be acceptable to them IMO unless they receive a compensatory payment from the premier league. They may as well void the season and start again if they don't get any revenue.
Prem clubs, and possibly championship clubs (with a few exceptions) may be prepared to play in empty stadiums just to settle the champions league places & promotion spots as the rewards for success are huge. But in the EFL's case presumably this would be put to an equal vote and the Championship clubs would get out-voted.
And teams like Derby and Sheff Wed will want the season to finish and their points deduction incurred so that they can start next season on an equal footing.
