I'd say no dig does work. Though I did it by accident.
I never went through the solarization process, just been building my soil over the years, tilling every year. Last year I was mulching heavily with grass and leaves. This year, my soil was loose enough that I didn't have to till my rows. That's a first.
Yes, I still have weeds but no real hard work was involved in this years planting. As far as the weeds go, I'm trying to work with them, they're getting nutrients out of the soil, sometimes deeper than one can dig. I let them bring the nutrients up, then turn them into much.
My walkways aren't quite wide enough for my push mower so I scalp with the weed whacker.
