I downloaded the file you mentioned and used for landscape photos it does help to recover highlights and push shadows. You are absolutely correct it doesn't do miracles, but is helpful. I also did one autoWB on each scene I used the uniWB, and can say that in most part is the better setting. The down side is the extra work. I will upload some pictures to share at the end of the week.

This UniWB is supposed to work well with high contrast scenes with highly saturated red and blue channels. Because UniWB cancels the R and B channel tweaks and shows more accurate histogramm on the LCD of the camera. And also for this purpose, the in camera presets (saturation, hue, sharpness etc.) has to be set to 0. Because they effect the jpeg we see in preview and thus the histogramm. The main idea is to see more accurate RGB histogramm with the cost of greenish previews. In total, I think it might be useful depending on the scene, because for instance, red channel histogramm might show non-blown out highlights on camera LCD although in raw data it is already out of the limit (and vice versa).
