I've always been interested in his approach but never dug in due to the complicated nature and the talk of how it can't be done ITB or Hybrid. In fact, I tried tonight to multi vocals several times to be able to add a different comp, in a parallel kind of manner, and then to buss the outputs but it was a phasey mess.
But, I was struggling as others have with the constant struggle between elements under buss compression and I do like me some compression. So, this week, I came across an article written by a 20yo that was surprisingly done well.

I read it a couple of times and decided to give a whirl today, restarting a mix. So, I did the typical ABCD but did so with a mixture of plugs and hardware. The Daking FET III was on drums and bass. I used VBC Red on acoustic/piano, VBC MU on E. Guitars (still playing with this), a Neve comp on the air buss for BGV's and other things like this that create space but aren't up front and then came the lead vocals.
Previously, I would have run them into one of these but caught, as mentioned above, the multed lead vocal approach. So, the truest sense of it was not working and the main reason is that SO2 does not do mono busses (WTH??). My work around was to duplicate the LV tack and ran one to the Warm 76 and the other to the CL7802. Of course, have the verse and chorus vocals will create more automation needs but, it is doable. I only hit a few db's on the comps and brought them back in, bussed them and hit the buss with a few db's on the Softube CL1B.
On the master, I only have the VCC and VTM - no additional compression.
I know this is not truly MB's method but son of a gun - this is working. The instrumental pushes don't bury vocals, the BGV's sit out there and don't get lost - things are playing very well with each other. Granted, there are some challenges with this mix, as with all of them, but they are not due to the bussing or compressions schemes.
So, had you seen the article? Are you trying anything like it? What do you think?
