Think among advaitis itself, there are different viewpoints (camps) on this
..

- sadyomukti (ekatva jnAna prApti) same as jIvanmukti
- jIvanmukti as per JMV

Even otherwise, isn't it quite impossible or impractical not to allow
arising of any vRttis
(other than only jnAna vRttis) during waking hrs?

Knowing that one's Self is forever free, untouched and unaffected from all
sorrows
and all experiences, however intense or painful they are ( upAdhi nimitta)
is mithyA.

Yes, any and all practical techniques in JMV to help create a conducive
environment to be in jnAna nishTa is always beneficial to oneself.
