You do not use this technique indefinitely but only for the first few plies. You can use the evaluation to do search depth reduction more logically than null move does. IOW, if on one move you capture a queen with a pawn and on another you lose your queen to a pawn, is stands to reason that you do not need to search the loss of a queen as deeply. So your search has a depth indicator, that when you hit a certain level, you stop doing the evaluation of all forward nodes and instead evaluate using normal alpha beta. Usually, you won't want to go too deep with the "added information evaluation", because there is a lot of added information which will gobble up the stack.
