As long as /run is specified as optional (as opposed to required),
that sounds fine.
There are systems out there being very careful not to start any
long-running userland processes, and even more so none requiring /run,
before mounting local file systems, when booting into multi-user mode.
For example, before mounting /var, OpenBSD does nothing but:
- configure concatenated disk devices (if any)
- configure RAID devices (if any)
- enable swap devices
- fsck local file systems
On such a system, there is no benefit in having /run outside /var,
and in fact, /run fits the definition of /var ("variable data files")
very well.
Yours,
Ingo
