I do have one on my mountain bike, and love it - but for the purpose stated above - but would certainly work for dismounts. I would say, go for it.
A good article on it:

Matej Mohorič used a dropper post on the descent of the Poggio to win Milan San Remo a couple of years ago. A great win.
OP, in May, I met an older woman who had switched from a 700c touring bike to a Bike Friday with 20" wheels because the loaded 700c bike was becoming too challenging to mount and dismount.
