Most of the time, it does work very well. But other times some added damage happens that then has to be repaired. All in all probably still a less complicated reset. So in reality those cracks were not there, when the shop obtained the guitar originally. The Luthier PROBABLY did not tell the shop owner he made those repairs. Only that he reset the neck, and that would look cosmetically as a perfect reset. Because the neck was never removed.
