I don't have any JavaScript, CSS is small, there is only one tiny image which is very small even base64 encoded. So I don't think this applies in my case.

For bigger advanced sites, yes, you are right.

Up to certain point, this is 'better', from the certain point, it is not.

You could probably do one better one yourself if you served the CSS separately (with the inline images included). Two requests isn't that bad. And that's only two requests the first time someone visits your site--the next visits will have cached the CSS and will only request the HTML. But I definitely see the novelty in only having one.
