Encoders on breakout board

Our team thought of using the new breakout board on this year's control system to wire up a single-wire (5v, gnd, A, and B all on one 4-wire PWM) encoder using 4-pin wire-to-board terminal blocks. We thought of doing this instead of the way we did it before the new system (breaking off the A and B signals into two different PWMs). We thought of doing this with the REV proto board's (am-2994) top part, where it isn't like a breadboard.
Update: We do use absolute optical encoders.
To make things short, I was wondering if anyone has done this, and if there's been any issues with it.
