In the US is done quite many times, especially at places where taxi times are long. Since you are in a taxiway, there is no harm on increasing thrust above idle as there won't be ground staff or vehicles behind. Be take a look into the plane in front of us and keep a distance, since the note that says that if brakes are applied a small jerk can be noticed. We also avoid doing it in turns to respect the note that nosewheel steering can be lost momentarily, and that coupled with high thrust in one engine could take us into the grass.
I agree that after doing it a couple of times, it becomes kind of memory item, but Airbus provides with a checklist and this is not a flow nor memory item so I would not do it without one in hand. It is quite easy to forget an item in a rush, like for example, forgetting to turn off the electrical Y pump and leave it running all the time.
