I think the part people will find easier is that they just have to manually adjust the mount until the star is back in the reticule. It gets away from the whole North South East West mind-cuss that a lot of people suffer with when starting out. It also removes a lot of errors due to picking the wrong star etc.
If the 3 Star alignment works, then the rest is fairly straight forward.
I imagine for photography a drift alignment would still be on the cards, but for getting the mount close and for visual use, this sounds like it might work and be easier for the un-initiated.
Your setup routine is pretty much what I do, except I use the inclinometer on my phone.
