Will be interested to hear the official answer, but I think the key is the "brewie pad". With all the grains in a bag, much like BIAB, stuck sparge and clogged chiller shouldn't be an issue. Now if a bag were to tear or spill...
I'm also wondering what other BIAB concepts can be applied here. For example, using the pads you should be able to use a finer crush and get better efficiency.
I've only ever used BIAB with fine mesh bags and only whole hops in filter bags/baskets. You can still gum up a plate chiller. Trust me.
