yea you'll never get a response from a disavow request alone, sorry that's what i was trying to explain. You'll only ever get a real human response when you submit a reconsideration request (they look through your disavow as part of the reconsideration process)
i've only had to use the disavow tool on 1 adult site so far, but have used it on lots of different mainstream sites. I haven't ever received a response from a disavow alone, but still do feel it helps. With the adult site, I was hit with the oct 4 penguin update (algo penalty, not manual, my links were really shitty), and made the decision to say fuck it and fix it. Now in March the site is still live, and search traffic has grown every month since. So I personally believe it works if you use it in addition to building more quality links.
