No, VC is not the answer... except for perhaps the best and highest skilled cyclists.
To proclaim that VC is for everybody and that anyone can do it under those conditions is turning a blind eye to reality... and certainly this does nothing to promote cycling... by telling cyclists to simply suck it up and do it...
We cyclists should insist on lower traffic speeds and well designed bikeways in the face of such motorways.
