The problem with split buss panels is that at the time the NEC allowed up to

The NEC still does. I could install a split bus panel tomorrow.

While that is true it does not tell the whole story. It would need a
main disconnect ahead of it or it could not contain more than ten
percent of it's over current devices sized at thirty amperes single pole
or smaller.
