There's no point in continuing to run A/B testing indefinitely once a winner has been chosen, and like-wise there is no point in running this indefinitely either.
Sure the OP advocates "set and forget", but it seems simply silly to do this indefinitely. Obviously, after a while, you're going to want to check in on the results and prune out low performers.
Is that not the entire point of all these different testing methodologies to begin with?
Also, if you were to follow the same "set and forget" strategy with A/B, you'd have a 50% chance of showing the 0% CR design, where-as it's only 10% with this method.
Seems like it wins out in both cases to me.
