I like it. We have an extra pin or three for such uses.
I have a small SWD/JTAG 10 pin connector on the board for flashing, gdb debugging if needed, and boundary scan testing.
I don't have much extra space for lands for pogo pins now, but it's a good idea.
The flat flex connectors are the flip lid kind that can take
100's of open/close cycles before having problems, so they can be part of a testing jig.
For signals not going to the 40 pins worth of flat flex connectors, a few pogo pins on lands on the bottom
could be good. There are no components on bottom yet, and none planned.
