The approach in the article is novel, but multi-filament splicer/feeders like the one you linked seem much more convenient.

If they'd work decently - ask people who have them, i "know" at least two on a 3d printing discord and what they have is basically a pretty expensive paperweight...

I once saw some video about the buffer and the way it is flawed - also don't expect any print speed if you're using it :S
