Yes, if you know for sure that that range is sufficient for all loads and tolerances you are likely to encounter.

And of course, setting upper and lower throttle levels removes the "no tuning required" advantage of bang-bang.

And limiting the upper number to anything less than full throttle removes "fastest spinup and recovery" argument for bang-bang.
