shrug it's fine if you like doing it that way, you're doing a small set of functions, you don't mind the parasitic capacitance, and board space and power consumption is not an issue. And desk space: https://www.edn.com/jim-williams-desk-circa-2007/ (if it was good enough for Jim Williams, it's good enough for you)

Weeell .. sort of, in that the variance is so high that for most designs the parameters are designed to be irrelevant. Provided you get current capacity right. Sometimes you genuinely need matched transistors though.
(One of the classic synths relied on a specific batch of "faulty" transistors, which made its properties almost unreproducible until the full-digital era)
