I have used it for a commercial job for precisely that purpose. I had
to record a group of musicians performing in the round (school children
in fact), and rather than putting mics all round the inside of the
circle and trying to fabricate a balance, I put the TetraMic in the
centre of the room and encoded to UHJ to get a decent stereo result.
The more distant perspective didn't matter as it was a good acoustic
(Walthamstow Town Hall).

I see that your method (kind of) works, i.e. it gives some result.
But any UHJ 2 stereo downmix will have to focus on some 60º to 90º part
of the circle.
(Means "plain stereo" is actually not apt to reproduce the original
situation at all.)
Just for clarification, not meant as some form of critic...
Best,
Stefan
P.S.: A binaural recording could be another recording strategy, in the
described scenario. Can also be reproduced via 2 speakers. (Maybe
applying X-talk cancellation.)
