Yep, I use that technique (usually only out on a taxiway and/or crossing a runway) as long as I know there's not anything behind me that might get blown around too much. As a rule of thumb, though, if you don't use enough thrust SE to trip the packs, you're not using enough thrust to blow anything over behind you.
