Having hundreds of tiny holes in the wing to release compressed air sounds mechanically too complicated.
But advanced jet engines have used the same technique INSIDE THE TURBINE BLADES for ~50 years now to keep them from melting, so it probably isn't too bad if the results are good. And it may be simpler and more reliable than the existing hydraulic systems.
