I think it is much too early to speculate on whether it could work. Technology could change so much between now and centuries from now.
 
The article says:
Therefore, the launch facility could see dual use and you wouldn’t need to build something new. Once that is in place one would need to test the magnetic sail. A realistic time span would hence be in the 50-100 years window.
I don't believe that 50-100 years. It takes much more than just a rocket and a sail. It needs many other things that take time to develop.
