The main problem with this is that SR means that both will perceive that the same amount of time has passed, yet when they meet up it turns out that their timelines have been very different.

A frozen person in "hibernation", say, will not have experienced any time passing at all. So all you do is slow down the metabolism, you do not change the properties of time.
