That would be as bad as using i386 instead of amd64 or x32 (the equivalent
of x32 is arm32 which is not a Debian architecture yet -- as the difference
between armhf and arm32 is far less than between i386 and x32).

You can, there's just no automated way to do so.  You can read more on

Right, it'd be nice to hear from someone with a clue of rpi boot whether it
currently works on arm64.  At least Raspbian has currently no arm64
version...
