Well, it is acceptable as a personal choice, but I wouldn't recommend to make
that the default in any circumstance, so it doesn't solve the problem in general.

How about setting TEXMFOUTPUT to a sensible value? With openout_any = p
(default), programs are allowed to write:
- in subdirectories of the current directory,
- in subdirectories of TEXMFOUTPUT.
