Its why I also sprinkle some hinges in new wood areas as well. However, having seen this discussed over the years I finally tried it for myself in some scrap.

Couldn't tell the difference. I don't know if its because I went back with the Radio South (blue) material or not but it held securely. No, I don't trust it enough to rely upon it solely but atleast I can stablilize that section of the control surface when better spacing isn't possible. And that is the only time I've felt the need to do it.

Perhaps you'll test it yourself in some scrap sometime?
