My concern for this sleeping method is very low power nodes. These

These super-low power nodes could not listen continuously. Forcing

require waking up would basically eliminate them from the picture.
For these very special devices, I often prefer to view them as
wireless peripherals rather than IP devices. They most likely won't
be able to participate in forwarding/routing functions. Any bi-
directional communication tends not to be end-to-end since they want
to minimize round-trip time.
