Yes, in the hands of a hypermiler, EOC or coasting in neutral can give better results.
An automated DFCO, however, is one of those "invisible" fuel saving strategies that the average driver can benefit from, without having to do anything.
A more difficult project, but one with greater potential benefits, would be an automated "stop / start" system for older cars.
I don't know if this would be any more one-size-fits-all than the DFCO, however. The number of required input signals to such a system could make it messy to implement.
