it may be a good idea to try. It is not.

We've been doing this on low-FIB platforms (mainly for our Metro, where we want to hold a full table in RIB and a few internal routes in RIB) since about 2014, and it works - as Scar in "The Lion King" would say - rather well.

The only downside is when your IGP and LDP database grows larger than the available FIB. But that's another issue; although not an insignificant one.
