( I'm a fixed income quant, so I didn't look for it until now.) For a more advance model than Black-Scholes, e.g. local vol I don't expect it can be extended, and one would then need use some PDE based method.
Your intuition is quite correct. These methods (Leif et al) do not extend well to different boundary or intermediate conditions that are quite necessary in real life scenarios. AFAIK, there are a few teams on the Street that do fairly advanced numerical analysis, but most resort to Monte Carlo or some statistically-informed perturbation theory.
