Default Shimming the diff mounts?

I was recently looking at aligning my drivetrain and it did occur to me that the Book diff mount brackets (for the Ford diff) would, in theory, allow for some shimming to allow the alignment to be tweaked.

Is there any reason why this would not be possible? Not ideal I know, but just wondered if there was a specific reason why it would be a bad idea...?
