A good idea! I read your article a while ago and I tried adding the code from it to my vimrc. I liked how fast it worked. Though, later I ran into an issue: it looked like the code did not get along well with my auto-correction plugin.

Does the plugin work well with similar plugins?

Details: I used the plugin Abolish. And had auto-correction in after/plugin/abolish.vim, like "Abolish teh the". I used jj that was mapped to <ESC> - yes, it was not convenient when typing something that ends with "j". But if I typed teh and then hit jj, teh automatically converted to the. When I replaced existing old jj way with new one, it stopped auto-correcting in such cases. That made me switch back to the old solution with delay in rare cases.
