To each their own, but I would consider this very poor practice. It makes the part much less transparent to anyone else who may need to work on your design and is far less flexible, as mentioned by Chris.

If you need to fix fillets, like Adam displayed in his video, you can use the fillet tool to do face fillets that will bridge the intersection of faces where two fillets intersect. Then you don't need to sketch anything.
