I did this for a while and found it fine. I did keep 2 verions of all the necessary cords at each destination though.

One benefit of the mac-mini is that monitors usually outlast hardware. Think of how many laptop/iMac screens still look amazing, and amazing you paid for, but have to be ditched with the rest of the machine because the screens is so tightly integrated with the rest of the hardware.

Funny, my one and only iMac was abandoned due to the screen dying from excess heat. (After frying 3 hard drives over the years).

The external Dell ultrasharp bought at the same time is still in use daily. (but now it's not as pretty on Mojave as it was on High Sierra)

Most monitors don't have to cool the heat from an entire computer so it's probably not surprising that the iMac display has more thermal issues than regular displays.
