Not just acceptable, necessary. Same issue in the development stage of Eurofighter. A flight control failure in a dynamically unstable aircraft (canards) could cause a catastophic departure leading to airframe destruction in well under a second and it was thought that auto eject might be required - early days, of course.
It's a bit gloomy to think that the fan failure resulting from battle (or any other) damage will occur over the deck rather than when the transition to fan lift is initiated. More likely that pilot survival will be the issue more than the aircraft crashing on the deck; the latter can happen with any carrier aircraft.
