Hi NightCabbage, I'm sure that you will run into some cases where it will be frustrating that it won't work... The offsetting mechanism is not really at the same level of dependability as the boolean functions for example. It will help a lot to have very clean geometry, no things like little slivery bits or excess faces like 2 coplanar faces next to one another where there could instead be one large single plane.

But I believe it will still help you out in quite a lot of cases though. It should work well for changing a simple part into a more complex looking one extremely rapidly. Here's an example shape like you were asking about originally:
