As with all things, if it is applicable or not requires a comprehensive understanding of the actual situation, the people involved, and fair and balanced judgment and reasonable plan of action that adjusts to circumstances.
It is extremely difficult doing so in a high stress environment.
No 'cry it out' plan I've ever seen or heard of would recommend them crying for a very long time. It's really easy to just give up, at the point many parents find themselves doing sleep training, as it's not something folks want to talk about, and the sleep disruption is likely already been going on for a very long time and they're already exhausted.
