Yes, I typically use ob-R and ob-python in this way. Aside from the convenience of interacting directly with the REPL, the comint mode may provide other useful facilities, for example in ob-R the inferior ESS mode provides completion that is aware of the objects in the current session. However I think modifying `org-babel-eval' will mainly be useful to provide async to the nonsession users. Comint-based sessions mainly use functionality from ob-comint.el, not ob-eval.el, and I think that the use cases are different enough that they shouldn't be merged into a single implementation.
