I've hard pruned large ligustrums in the past and they've grown back really well. I let the same ligustrums grow for a few years without pruning, and they're looking thin at the top of the crown.

FYI - most educated landscape architects will advise against a hard prune.

To me it depends on how the growth has been encouraged over the years. Constant cutting and pruning, imo, hurts the integrity of the branching. That said, I’ve seen crape Myrtles hacked down to nothing and it comes back as a crape shrub lol. So I guess give it a shot and see what happens
