I used this strategy for something like my first year of playing mtt’s. The value gained is at least balanced by value missed and its success rate will be very opponent specific. Good players will adapt very quickly, though it does set us up nicely for over-bet river bluffs when bet into thin. In general, I feel like we miss too much value from hands that won’t bet but will call
