Actually, I just found something that ends with saying my approach is best:

“Sodium bicarbonate is great for decontaminating spills after you rinse off. It does generate heat when neutralizing acid but the bigger issue is that it fizzes and spatters which might spread the acid around more. It’s better than nothing but not nearly as quick or effective as water”
This quote from your source does not suggest that your approach is best.
I started my research because I wanted to have the info just in case. Looking at multiple sources and at 2018 links water is the best.
