Can I perform the same intervals using heart rate as a metric instead of power output? I'm not sure how to measure my wattage on my stationary bike trainer without purchasing additional equipment. helpful post, thanks!

Personally I struggle to hold 90% for 8mins... Great link by the way.. Cheers Andy.

In theory it would be even more precise to do a longer test with a duration of 45-60minutes" I guess that is close to what you call "60min being a truer reflection of FTP." :-) Though, I would still recommend intervals based on a 20min test as a good way to because that is one (out of many ways) to improve threshold power.
