I've had this in my tree for a few weeks and the only package I've found
so far that went wrong was polkit, see separate patch for that. (There
a few other packages for which "make clean" fails in a harmless manner.)
But it's true that I haven't built the whole of world this way yet.

My guess is that "make clean" is slightly more likely to work (or, at
least, not break anything) on average. But defaulting ${B} != ${S}
would definitely be a desirable thing in the longer term and I would
certainly be in favour of moving in that direction.
