Knowledge of the plus trick has gotten pretty widespread. Anecdotally, I know a lot of non-technical people that use a single +spam address to route to a spam folder.

Non-anecdotally, articles with large numbers of views/comments about the trick can be found with a quick Google search on non-techie sites like NYT/HuffPost/BusinessInsider/Buzzfeed/Pinterest/etc. Not that those are definitive, but I think knowledge of this is more widespread than you think.
