It can be "ok" and acceptable in some cases, but definitely not the best practice from a security standpoint.

A good analogy here would be our house. We need to secure doors and windows against unauthorized access. If a malicious actor gets in, we've got big problems, yes. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't hide our valuables. We may still store jewelry, money and other values in a safe. That practice can mitigate the losses in case someone breaks in the house.
