Or does it just reduce the frequency of descaling needed?

I haven't used a drip coffee maker for probably 5 or 6 years now, but when I did, a 50/50 vinegar and water mix worked perfectly for a machine that I used daily without any issues. It could be that a problem could occur if you don't immediately do a few rinse cycles after clearing the lines.
I always did that as a precautionary measure to be sure that there was no leftover vinegar to taint my coffee taste, but I'm sure that it could also prevent any drying or other degrading of the tubing.
EDIT: I also ALWAYS used filtered water from my Britta pitcher. I'm sure that contributed to my lack of need to clear my lines very often.

Vinegar is acetic acid which is perfect to remove lime scale and it's safer than Descal. Run a high concentration of vinegar through and let the last cycle sit in the coffee maker for 4 to 8 hours. Then run two containers of hot water through to clean out the vinegar. White vinegar will cost you 25¢ compared to $10 for the sponsored product you recommend. You are profiting from the bad product you are pitching.

It contains sulfamic acid which has a ph of 1. White vinegar has a ph of 4.75.

White vinegar is effective at removing mineral deposits in your coffee maker. It will not damage anything.
