Really?
Seems like that's all I do on chars nowadays.
From iron mutaes -> roids -> wrs -> viks -> himes
All places where I've found it extremely useful and that's basically training from 30-110 or so.
It's also essentially what you do at typhons just instead of one plat it's drawing the entire map worth of mobs into you.
I've also been a fan of going to places extremely early from what's considered the "norm" (even on warriors) which makes that method much more effective.
Like you said it's not effective if you can take the mob down in one or two hits, but if you're taking them down in one or two hits you should have moved on to the next training spot anyway.
Seeing as how going to places before you are their level is going to be a thing of the past it probably will make that method a lot less effective where ground smash probably will take on a big role. All depends on how monster hp plays out, I wasn't in tespia so I can't really give an opinion on that (yes it's in the data but I haven't even begun to look at monster changes at all).
