Hypertrophy and Injury prevention are the main benefits of unilateral leg work.
Look at all the big squatters/deadlifters out there and very few of them do any unilateral work, because its not as effective. Whats going to help your deadlift more, rack pulls with 600lbs, or split squats with 100lbs in each hand?
If you goal is to increase squat/dead stick to the basics:
squats and variations, deads, rack pulls, box squats of varying heights, good mornings, etc.

Step ups and split squats are discussed all the time on "Dr. Squat". They will never be the core of anyone's training but they are a legitimate tool. If what you are doing has stopped working, try something else.
