For fully color management soft proofing? Not really until such a time that
Jeff Schewe can develop more custom profiles for use in just soft proofing.
The Advanced B&W expects the data in the RGB working space and of course,
there's no output profile that reflects what you'll get there. You'll even
notice that when using the toning controls, you have to view one of Greg
Gorman's images in the driver to visually set the sliders. This is an OS
limitation according to Epson, they can't show you, your image there.
Of course you could bypass this and convert the images in Photoshop proper,
then just use your output profiles (Epson¹s which are quite good or custom
profiles you build). You'd be able to tone the prints, setup a soft proof
using the ICC profiles and then bypass the Advanced B&W area of the driver
all together.

There are a zillion ways to do this. I like Russell's dual Hue/Sat technique
a lot. I've been doing all my conversions either in Lightroom or using
PhotoKit which I will not further discuss since I have an one of the authors
(so I am prejudiced to this product because a group of us built it for our
needs and I don't, like others who post to the list, wish to discuss any
commercial products of which I have an interest).
If you want to have a lot of control and twiddle lots of controls, I'm a big
fan of either Russell's technique or the one Greg Gorman's retoucher came up
with (its described somewhere on http://greggormanphotography.com/). I'm
lazy and like to just push a button so I use that 'other' product mentioned
earlier.
At such a point that you have an RGB monochrome or toned image, just use the
output profile as you would with a full color image. You can soft proof,
toggle rendering intents etc. You're going to bypass the Advanced B&W option
in the Epson driver of course.

One fellow I'd ping is Mac Holbert at Nash Editions! Shoot me an email off
list if you need his email or just go to http://www.nasheditions.com/
