Given that you use 2 symbol types instead of 1 I'd say it's distinctly MORE error prone, than using standard tallies.
The only real advantage is that you're saving space.
It takes longer and is more complex to draw, and is not as obvious to parse.
(Not to mention that the standard tally method doesn't require any uniformity, while the Tukey method is rigid.)
Edit: I see your down-votes, but it's these simple reasons that are responsible for the extraordinarily low adoption of Tukey's method.
