Is there unequivocal, empirical evidence to validate the practice; relationship between learning style and learning effectiveness?
While I am not familiar with the research literature on other learning style measures, there are a number of studies that relate LSI scores to learning effectiveness. For example in chapter 7 of Experiential Learning: Experience as the Source of Learning and Development, I compared students whose learning style matched the demands of their discipline with students whose learning style was mismatched in four different fields—economics, humanities, mathematics, and mechanical engineering using a number of measures of learning effectiveness. Overall learners whose style matched the discipline demands were more effective learners. Another example, in computer science studies have consistently shown that abstract learners are more effective in learning computer skills.
