Bad idea?
Depends on how badly the chain is worn but generally yes.
Commonly availiable sprocket rims are much cheaper than chain, so I do it without hesitating. It does speed up the wear on the rim though.
With a spur, I likely would think a bit differently - but I usually stay away from those...
I wouldn't think twice, i won't hurt the rim sprocket 8)
