Totally practical and supported. See MikTeX: https://miktex.org/kb/just-enough-tex

But the reason I don't use it is because I don't always have Internet when I need to write my document. I'd rather download all the packages and their documentation beforehand.

When stuck on a plane without wifi the only thing I could find on my computer to read were the Tex manuals. Good stuff.

MikTeX also supports downloading individual packages, though I wish there was an option to download, say, the most commonly used 1GB or something.
