I've sometimes fallen back to that old-school method in order to mitigate some especially nasty sibilance. It works quite well, even if it's a bit of a hassle to set up. But if you ever need to "de-ess" or "de-pop" more than one frequency band, it can be worth the effort.
I'd add FabFilter's sophisticated de-esser to my collection if it weren't so durn expensive. For now, good ol' Pro-C does the trick for 99% of my filtered-sidechain needs. Plus 99% of my other compressor tasks, too. It's a real workhorse.

All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
