The hydrogen gas displaces the larger oxygen and water molecules in the gel and suppresses the reprocity failure. I know some films move their colour responce but I'd think all films would improve to some degree.
You could also consider a Cold camera using frozen C02; more fiddly but very usable.

Cold cameras are hard to find these days .... I think I saw one for sale on Ebay last year and it was snapped up straight away by someone.
I think it is more likely that modern films (B&W , colour and slide) can benefit from hypersentisation , but with the demise and buyout of Lumicon , and them having a patent on the process , it was something that fell out vogue.
Here's a link that discusses hypering for anyone who might be considering doing it and gives info on various films.
