yes, anyone who must cut ignition , ok , do it , but i do not recommend telling others to do it , for liability reasons and for putting others at risk.
what if engine don't restart. then what. Double foot screaming to the ditch ?

this activity needs to be engineered into car , read FORDs main technology page.

on some cars,the power booster is way more powerful, than other cars.
and when the vacuum hits atmospheric ambient , the loss on some cars is profound.
I had a Pontiac that did that. " i always test all cars like this to learn the habits)
i also taught wife to drive with no power steering and no brakes.
I learned to drive in days of POINTS, LEADED GAS and engines died all the time.
You learn quick how to handle it. but today they don't even teach this in school.
the car is magic, it always works.....

it also changes the balance of the car,
in fuel cut mode ( the RWD car , pulls back like Arrow fletching)
the car is designed to be safe for these conditions.
cut and coast is not part of the original plan.
braking and handling change.
