Yeah usually that does work, because when the geometry is scaled down the gaps between edges are scaled down as well and that can put them under the join tolerance at that point.

You don't want to scale it down too much though because Join does use the relative tolerance mechanism so things below 1 unit in size in their bounding box diagonal will use a fraction of that diagonal size rather than an actual fixed 0.005 unit value.

So you'd want to scale down by 1/10 in size probably and then scale up after the join.
