I could see that working as a design method by leaving a deliberate gap and filling with colour tinted epoxy, royal blue perhaps, or post box red. In addition it eliminates the need for any rolling bevels. One could use only microbaloons in the fill to reduce weight.

If every strip defined was too busy for one's taste perhaps it might be possible to just leave a gap at every second strip.

I may try this some day. It could be especially good on slab sided hulls and decks where not much twist is required.
