My personal IR does not include Raw pickup signal blending and Martingitdave can testify that it does sound "mic like" he just tried it on his JBL eon one... I did not use it live yet (I don't gig...) but may be MartinGitDave can give his opinion and say if he believes it would sound "pretty awful" in LIVE setting (from his experience).
Though your DIY IR would certainly be handy for recording, I'd think that live performance would be the main reason for creating such a device. (Recording can always be done with a mic or pair of mics. Getting decent amplified sound at a high level is difficult or impossible with a mic - especially with a mic that's positioned 8" or more in front of the guitar.) Its a good thing that you have someone to try out your IR "in the field", so to speak. I can tell you that Aura and Mama Bear were extensively pre-tested at gigs, and I don't doubt that ToneDexter has been also.
