This will work OK for strumming songs. Well, SOME of them. But if you're a fingerpicker, detuning (or capoing) is a must. If one plays James Taylor, for example, playing his songs without doing the hammer ons, slides, and pull offs on the B string with A chording just wouldn't work. As we used to say in the south: "That ain't right!"
Related, I CRINGE when I hear anyone at a club or on the street playing a fingerpicking song of JT's by strumming it. There oughta be a law.
