The article claims that using this will "cause your site to disappear from all search results", but the generated pages don't have the traditional "meta" tags that state the intention to block robots.

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

Are any search engines respecting that classic meta tag?

Yes, all the big search engines respect that meta tag. Some of the big abusive AI crawlers do too, kind of defeating the (stated) point of the tarpit.
