yeah the ALB provides that feature as well. I just checked. it was released in Aug 2016. So clearly before that time your setup makes a lot of sense.

I am wondering if the ALB would be the preferred method now, if you were to redo it ?

Right, ALB were introduced after we built RMS. We would have to re-evaluate the ALB stability/cost/scalability - but definitely something to consider.
