Yes, I think Cai's Wuji standing methods are very good. The only thing I would add is, as I mentioned before, some kind of exercise to keep flexible such as Swimming Dragon.
I've heard Sher K. Lew has said standing exercises are very good for generating Qi but can also cause stagnation. A combination of moving and standing is best IMO.
Also, Teacher Cai told me to stand no more than 1 hour at a time. Stand for an hour, walk around, then stand for another. However, when we would stand with him one time he stood for 1 hour 20 minutes one time.
The man who introduce teacher Cai to me was told by Cai to stand 4 hours a day (broken up of course).
