I dont tree-work as such, but this is certainly the recommended pruning method for our native Fig Trees (Moreton Bay Fig, Port Jackson Fig, Small-Leaf Fig, and Deciduous Fig), which are as you suggest ... poor compartmentalisers...and that is the pruning prescription I would give.
I'll try to get some photos over the weekend.
