With an estimated 300 billion stars in our galaxy and only 20 million of them being binary dead stars, that gives you a ratio of 15,000 to 1. That's about as hard as finding a gas station in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, then trying to paddle your space dingy there for fuel before blasting off to Pluto. I cannot see how any advanced race could benefit from this technique unless they are only traveling locally. It's a long time between pit stops in space at the sub-light speeds involved.
