Its a reasonable solution, albeit one of several options, but for me it is a simpler, cleaner, solution. But...whatever works for you.
For me, it's all about having the absolute minimal amount of gear to schlep. For the minimal set up that means the Bose S1 (has a battery) and then the VE-8 (takes 6 AA batteries). I don't need to power anything else. So having a brick to power the VE-8 would be an extra thing to need to carry around plus the cord. I'd be adding. If I was looking to power a bunch of different pedals, that would be horse of a different color.

Now, if I wanted to also take along my Mooer Ocean Machine pedal, then the outboard battery pack starts to make sense since it (the Mooer) does not take batteries.
