I used to do a 12 minute egg with an immediate ice bath. Works well. Egg peels easily. Yolk isn’t overcooked.
Recently switched to the 10-5-5 method. 10 minutes of cook, 5 minutes in the pan but removed from heat, 5 minutes in an ice bath. I’d argue the results are slightly better.
Always soak your eggs before boiling. This forces any air to escape which reduces the likelihood of your eggs cracking once in the hot water.
Whacking the top of the egg right after the ice bath with like a spoon helps with peelability. I always forget to tho. But yeah, I do bring the water to a boil and set a timer for 12 minutes after it starts boiling, then immediately put into ice bath. My eggs are consistently perfect with that method. I’ve seen the one you mentioned, but I’m too lazy lol.
