I think I have seen this as Kent Chasson's methodology on his website?
Its hard to say. Its a lot more work (read labor hours) plus it adds material cost so it may not be for every one. Its likely it will never make it into mass production for those two reasons alone. I only make changes in my build process if there is a benefit to tone, play-ability or structure and pretty much absorb the costs, thus far... I can see the benefit of not needing a neck reset though none of my guitars have required a neck reset yet in my 20 years of building.
