If it toughens and increases reflection of heat back into the chimney as stated other than cost it looks like an ideal addition to RMH builds using the ceramic fiber insulation.

Sound like the perfect solution to prevent air born fibres, I use a similar product with similar claims, it works OK but does crack up after a few fires, however still stays in place.

I haven't used that product. This was what I used to coat the internals of my batch box core. I don't have experience using it on ceramic fiber insulation.

There is a very comprehensive thread at this link at Donkey's forum about refractory coatings which is what lead me to use the product that I chose.
