I think that I managed to be convinced that for packages for which we already support a way of configuring the source location (from Git, from a custom tarball, etc.), it makes sense to also offer an option to set a local location, even if technically it is redundant with what _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR is doing. So I agree with the approach, as long as we limit it to a few key packages like the Linux kernel and bootloaders.
