The slowing of cell metabolism is lethal. The fact you can restore individual cells to something close to "normal" at a later time, doesn't help. Your patient is dead and the cells eventually die anyway.
I am not convinced that the "normal" metabolism of the cell, afterward, is anything other than metabolic collapse.

It's just research to move our understanding of how this works forwards a bit. Some possible future applications that could arise from much more research were preserving tissue for organ transplants, or maybe in slowing down aging. But not using the current technique.
