What are your thoughts on RPE training?
Recently been reading about Mike Tuscherer's RTS, and it has interested me greatly. Not the intermediate program itself, but the underlying principles behind RPE training itself. Autoregulating intensity and volume.

While I'm not saying you could get it exactly like Sheiko, I feel like you could, at the very least, try to maintain the 68-72 RI. At higher reps, of course, due to the RPE factor making it hard to be at an RPE lower than about 7, but 68-72 nonetheless.

Instead of prescribing sets, use fatigue percentages to try to match a Sheiko-style programming method. As said above, keep the daily RI the same. But have the volume and RI autoregulated.

The three autoregulation methods I know of are: load dropping, rep dropping, and repeats. Any more?

Anyone ever think of trying something like this?

It's been mentioned here on a few occasions, also if you check his website Mike T made a program for RTS with Sheiko-esque training.

The Intermediate Program? Ehh, not one for paying for programming, honestly.

No, if you google for Sheiko RTS there is a free program that he has written which combines exactly those two things.
