You don't need to make huge assumptions while node locking, you can lock a strat, see how pio plays vs it (expecting your opponent will play that new equilibrium made vs your first lock) and see how it goes from there, how you will play differently on different turns and rivers.
Also you can use it to see how pio plays vs your strat, if the solution is very hard to figure out and you don't expect villain to do that or EV loss is minimal, you can play that strat and challenge him to come up with a response vs that.
Just sim the example I posted in my last post, it's practical and simple, you won't end up playing wild west poker by studying that.
