I used a proprietary hot grease chain lube on my motorcycle chain many years ago and it worked fine. A big advantage was that the wheel and surrounding area remained cleaner than if I'd used some sticky chain oil. I agree about not using hot melt chain lube with sealed chains (commonly called "O-Ring" chains) for the reasons mentioned. The product webpage specifically mentions its only for standard chains.
