Help article to use named credentials with wrapper has been removed

The link
Using Named Credentials with the Apex Wrapper Salesforce Metadata API (apex-mdapi)

has been removed and I was planning to use these steps to allow users to update a list view through the metadata service within a transaction rather than giving them permissions to modify metadata all the time.

This leads me to wonder why it was removed - was it a working solution that I should still attempt without having the steps for reference anymore? Was it removed because it was not a viable solution? Is there a better solution available or should I not attempt something like this?

To explain my use case more - I created a LWC button that passes a record ID and uses the metadata service to update a specific list view to filter based off of the record ID. This works fabulously for admins but not standard users without the correct permissions. I would love a way to allow for these permissions to update the list view through the metadata api only while the transaction is running. The blog post if I remember correctly suggested creating a connected app, using named credentials of a user with a profile that has these permissions to essentially "log in" as them while the transaction runs.

I wonder if maybe the link is just bad. I searched the title of the article, and found a very similarly-named one from the same domain -- might be the same one:
