Default Direct dial FSS phone numbers being suggested as work-around to long hold times

That seems quiet unlikely. If the local FSS briefer is busy you aren't
going to get kicked to the front of the line because you used a

If I am waiting to close an IFR flight plan at an uncontrolled airport or
have a need to file and IFR flight plan for a Lifeguard mission while driving
to the airport, there's no harm in trying.
