Yes, and my contribution is to add "and you can also do that, with the 
following pros and cons".
(In this case, and unless I am mistaken, more pros than cons ;-))

Not crazy at all.
Actually, draft-ietf-v6ops-cpe-simple-security-16, AFAIK about to become an RFC 
says:

REC-49: Internet gateways with IPv6 simple security capabilities MUST provide 
an easily selected configuration option that permits a "transparent mode" of 
operation that forwards all unsolicited flows regardless of forwarding 
direction, i.e. not to use the IPv6 simple security capabilities of the 
gateway.  The transparent mode of operation MAY be the default configuration.
