Possible yes, desirable unsure. Others might disagree, but I consider d-i's rescue mode a possibly helpful tool to unstuck a system that was created via d-i (e.g. some packages broke badly, all initramfses are corrupted, the system no longer boots, rescue mode makes it possible to detect+mount things, deploy a fix, a revert, a workaround, yay), and absolutely not a general purpose sysadmin tool (grml and friends would be equipped much better for such things).
