If you have the room for a traditional slave/fork/bearing setup, why would you even think about using a hydraulic TOB?
Ya Patrick, it's got pros and cons the big plus was that it greatly reduces the number of components involved which sounds great when applying the KISS principle.

The cons are that a leak can potentially cause disk contamination, it's difficult to replace and a fork gives you some additional "feel" adjustment. Although forks can also induce deflection into the mix.

I was on the fence about this being the right way to go and the sloppy machining seems like a bad omen. But I've seen plenty of external slave issues mentioned here as well.
