<sigh> Yes. and "Yes" to all the other doubts you had. 
As was stated before, our setup probably would not work for everyone, but the basic 
ideas should. As for your complaints about not being able to know what triggered a 
bit-bucketing , one can either keep them in a junk folder or setup the procmailrc to 
note in its log when it bit-buckets a message.
This setup has been in place for about a year now. There has not been one 
complaint from users about missing email due to our Subject rules. 
Of course, someone could on purpose use a Subject that would trigger the bit-
bucketing, but that would not prove anything.
YMMV.
