My suggested way is with OP CLB. What I'm saying is IF i opted to maintain a specific VS with climb thrust, I'd do it with the AT off. I wouldn't employ pineteam's technique, but it's not against SOP (at my company) and isn't inherently unsafe. I can't criticize him any more than I can criticize somebody for intercepting a localizer in NAV.
