Interesting. Thank for posting the information.
One potential issue is, "Water content of the 2 parts to be joined must be similar and around 12%." Most furniture and instrument making uses wood that is 6 to 8%. The long clamping time and nasty VOC's wouldn't make it very nice to work with for instruments.
I've used Titebond I - or similar - for years for laminating wood bindings/purflings. It mostly holds for standard binding bending - not soaked or steamed for long periods. There is the occasional localized failure that is easy to re-glue after bending. Titebond III would probably be a good/better choice, with its water-resistance.
