I do exactly that, BUT with one critical difference:
I once had a catch-all address set up for everything@example.com, but I got lots of spam to random made-up addresses. I now use everything@sub.example.com, and I don't see any spammers making up addresses within my subdomain.
Where this unfortunately breaks down seriously is those sites that require you to log in with an email address, and require you to share that login with other people. Especially paypal -- I get spam to my paypal address, because anyone I've ever bought anything from on ebay knows that address. And there is no way to both use that service and keep my email private. There's a variety of similar sites out there.
