Yes, RDMA WRITE w/ immediate data is perfectly fine. I've even
implemented some protocols that use it to good effect.
Not sure what the performance trade off is like though. The immediate
data pretty much behaves exactly like a SEND WC on the receive side,
but there may be some performance and latency advantages, particularly
on the send side.
