I get consistent results, and have never had a problem. So I'm a little confused by your comment about alkaline developers and fixer. Incidentally, the reason I use a water stop bath, even though it isn't as effective a stop as an acid bath, is because the recommendation for TF-4 is to use a plain water stop bath.
