No, this is not (necessarily) a stupid idea. In fact it might be a good idea in a lot of cases. A downside is, that you lose the functionality for user access control provided by the OS on multi-user machines (i.e., other users working on the same machine can connect to localhost:8080 too). This might or might not be a concern for you.
