Of course it works in practice. You just vote for the stronger lesser evil candidate, for the same reason my aunt voted for Biden even though she preferred Warren. This is called compromise strategy.
The opposite strategy would be like if Trump supporters voted for Warren to advance the weaker candidate against their guy.
The same strategy works in any kind of runoff method including instant runoff voting.
