I agree with kdk. Perhaps it could be useful for a beginning player. Otherwise your embouchure, tonguing, etc. is developed beyond the need to use just the mouthpiece. I know brass players do this, particularly trumpeters. They need to keep their lips in shape if away from practicing/playing for a while. I once went a whole school year when teaching band without really doing any practicing. The following summer my lower lip area got painful when playing full rehearsals & concerts in summer groups. But I could still play and last through it.
More practical, I think, is to practice silently if noise is a problem. Fingering and even blowing into the instrument. Keeps the technique in decent shape. I've done that quite a bit in the car waiting for someone or some other reason. -- while I'm parked.....
