SLIMT is a far more complex way to do the same thing, in my view. I've not tried it, but prebleaching negatives when you don't yet know their likely densities seems like it's just asking for trouble.
Kachel's description of SLIMT might make it seem complex (it is debatable whether SLMIT does any bleaching in the technical sense of bleaching or it just makes silver halide less developable), but in practice it is not all that complex - even I could get decent results from docu films. Like any other approach it requires some amount of testing.
Here is an example of Lynn Radeka's work using "4x5 Tri-x developed for extreme contraction using the slimt process":

p.s. I'm only trying to clear misconceptions about SLIMT here and not really nudging you to try it. I am in the camp whatever works for you.
