That's something I adopted 5~ yrs ago.
Works for this old man trying to get max mileage from a 10+ yr old partial knee replacement.
Just make sure your descent is safe, I have 2 brakes.
I don't remove my feet from the pedals / clips / straps, as getting back in isn't the easiest task in fixie mode. Plus the whole "moving eggbeater" thing too. But if doing so on your part keeps your upgraded knee happy, I will not judge. Everything's a tradeoff.
I do have F&R brakes - Mafac Racers, in fact, which proudly wail their unique song as I apply them on the descent.
