I have done A LOT of SMT soldering. Good tweezers and technique are king. I only need magnification when I inspect luckily.
Not sure about the utility of the third hand things. If it works, go for it
Now you just need to convince everyone else who is scared of soldering these that they should have a go.
Paste reflow is probably easier, particularly if you have a stencil.
Used a third hand in bright sun light and clamping tweezers.
