I did this to my anubias and it worked a treat with no issues but I cant say wether your plants will be ok

From my all be it limited experience if you dont wipe the leafs quite regularly you will get algae on them pretty much whatever the light is, a simple test is to wipe the leaf gently and see how slimy/sticky/grimy it is then give it a proper clean, it should almost feel rough to the touch...

No idea to be honest mine was easily managed so I never looked into any other method

Id definitely look at the lighting and co2, I have the same size tank and similar set up I only run 7 hours lighy and use pressurised co2, yeast co2 can work but doe fluctuate alot which wont help with any algae, Also one thing that stands out is you haven't mentioned what filter your using...
