Question Oil seal - lower wishbone to hub carrier replacement option

I will be dropping the rear end cage for a full overhaul soon and will be replacing all bearings and seals. I have found a few references to what appears to be a simple alternative to the Outer oil seal. Has anyone used this one piece seal as a replacement for the felt ring seal and felt carrier? An Amazon link is below.
