I've been using UIAutomation to automate screenshot generation and make it easier to keep support documents up-to-date. Do you know if this works for that? Straight UIAutomation times out a lot doing that and often requires multiple runs to get everything.

Yes. You can send Javascript to be evaluated by UIAutomation so it has all the capabilities of that UIAutomation does. There's a PR that adds this natively https://github.com/inkling/Subliminal/pull/118, but you can also just implement it yourself quite easily:

    - (void)captureScreenshotWithFilename:(NSString *)filename
    {
        [[SLTerminal sharedTerminal] evalWithFormat:@"UIATarget.localTarget().captureScreenWithName(\"%@\")",
                                                [filename slStringByEscapingForJavaScriptLiteral]];
    }
