Carrying multiple boulders over the defenses is definitely not worthwhile for this reason. Carrying multiple boulders out of the opponents SP can be worth the penalties in some situations.

The bottom line is that if you're going to intentionally break a rule, read the rules (and team updates!) very carefully to be sure that the strategic benefit sufficiently outweighs the penalty. Note especially that many foul rules have steeper penalties for fouls that are repeated or judged strategic in nature.
