This will indeed work.  Its however highly discouraged by FreeIPA.
For example, if you do go this way, you will never be able to
establish trust relationship with Active directory as Active directory
will not accept this setup.

Also, you will be on untested territory.  I don't think may people use
this setup, so the code may not be well exercised in such a setup.  On
the positive side, you could help FreeIPA project flash out any bug
that such a setup may expose.
