Yes, that's what I do since I started using LaTeX 10 years ago. (But I
didn't do it in .bib files until 2003.)

I also hope that Roland's
`convert-readable-words-in-backslash-or-ampersand-escaped-sequences'
function isn't necessary anymore.

Does "drop non-ascii chars" mean that "räksmörgås" becomes "rksmrgs",
or "raksmorgas"? I'm afraid you mean the former ... But what would
such a function do to a Greek/Cyrillic/Japanese BibTeX entry? I'd
guess there is nothing left when you drop non-ascii chars.
