Yes, I do, since I change things on an experimental basis quite often.

That never induced any issue in the last decades using this kind of approach. 
Each variable
set in defaults/rc.conf should be cleanly overriden via rc.conf and 
rc.conf.local, shouldn't
it? The only possible issue I could imagine is the order variables appear and 
being processed
by rc.subr and siblings ... or am I wrong?

Kind regards,
