Some time ago I looked into this topic, and in my opinion the blog post misses two points: (1) Conversion to gray scale won't be good because the scale is not linear, which is important for printing, and (2) In Jet (and also, Turbo), high and low values of a measurement don't map well to colors. This is well described in the paper introducing cividis [1] (check out [2] for code).

Covered: "When rendered in grayscale, the coloration will be ambiguous, since some of the lower values will look identical to higher values. Consequently, Turbo is inappropriate for grayscale printing and for people with the rare case of achromatopsia."
