I think the reality is that the EDK is just better. It pulls better, is easier to tie and inspect, and it's failure mode is incredibly easy to mitigate. There will be no surprises with the EDK because it has been widely used for ages.
If you start joining ropes like this when rapping I predict the following:
Your partner will think you're a sketchball.
Your partner will try to talk you out of rapping on ropes joined with that knot.
Your partner will insist you rap first.
Your partner will untie that knot and retie with an EDK or more common knot before they rap.
You'll take up gear solo-ing.
You're gunna die.
