As long as the air is generally clean and still where they will be stored, it should do the job for the amount of time it takes to colonize a jar. It works for me because it's very quick and simple to create such lids.

But, it's far from ideal. I had some jars with polyfill close to a fan that I used to dry shrooms, the fan was on and they all contaminated with brown mold. The contamination started at the top right underneath the polyfill hole and spread from there.

You use one or the other- your fine. Some cover the tops of their jars with a coffee filter also; with tyvek or polyfil. Just to take the brunt of everyday life.

I just use aluminum foil on my lids. I have 2 screwdriver sized holes in each lid. If you are clean in your procedures and have a clean incubation area, you should be ok.
