Yeah the article suggests doing bilateral concentric then unilateral eccentric, but that doesn't seem very practical as you point out.
Many movements have other ways to cheat the concentric using momentum though. For example with a bicep curl you can swing the weight up to the top, and then doing a controlled eccentric motion. On a pull up or dip you could jump up to the top.
That would allow you to use more weight than you could comfortably use in a concentric motion, to give you the extra loading on the eccentric portion - which may give you better strength gains - without having to do unilateral movements.
