I really don't agree in the confined scenario Ulf described. Can you explain your point further or is it merely an issue of Microsoft supporting it?
OK, You've got me - when I think about it, it should not cause any trouble. Ulf procedure is not a attempt to do authoritative restore so it is not a case of schema recovery but ordinary failed DC recovery procedure.
Nothing was replicated, nothing was broken already in the production environment so why not perform restore of DC and bring it back to the domain? This is the same case as when You are performing forest recovery from the backup.
No I don't have any other point then my habits and the way I used to do such things, which obviously limited my point of view on proposed solution - that's a shame for me. I've never tried the procedure Ulf described in the lab and fortunately I haven't had to test it in the real life.
I don't think that it this goes under unsupported category - this is simply DC recovery procedure.
As Ulf said (...) don't write tired and exhausted. (...) or late in the evening.
