I've never experimented with alternate tunings. About half of classical pieces tune to bass string to D instead of E but whichever tuning I'm using there are passages where the other would be momentarily more convenient. Now on my Yepes 10-string I always have both.

Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) tunes his electric to DADGAD, dad-gad, which is why so many bands covering LZ songs don't sound quite right. Joni Mitchell almost never uses the standard tuning.
One piece I really want to learn uses E♭ A D G B♭ E♮ and it's extremely difficult already because of the tempo, but WOW do I want to learn it:
Drop D (DADGBE) is probably the most common, and easiest, altered tuning since nothing changes for strings 1-5. Power chord on the 6-4 and interesting bass runs on the 6.
Celtic (DADGAD) is a power chord player's delight and more open ringing tonic and dominant strings when playing in the people's key of D. A bit awkward for other chords.
Open G (DGDGBD) is basically the most common banjo tuning so a banjo player could play a guitar without knowing how to play a guitar. I'm resisting that urge because I want to be an actual guitarist.
As for the piece that you linked, I don't even dream of playing something like that. Good grief!

I would need to get totally serious again, practicing hours every day.
