Yes, what works for USAB works for USAB, not every clan out there.
LDR closed recruitment for personal motives before the others and it has worked out for us, but we didn't do it because we were getting bad applications only, to fix that you just need to fix the way you recruit people and that's it. Closing recruitment involves several other manners which are not easy to take for leaders or for members so no, I wouldn't recommend it to others just because a clan didn't die after doing it.
Having open recruitment means meeting new people which could possibly become trusted friends. If you are worried about quality over quantity due to recruitment then you should fix your recruitment process entirely, it probably isn't good at all. Isn't this supposed to be advise to prevent failure? Closing recruitment is a big risk and could possibly lead to "FAIL" as the title says.
