This is indeed a very good approach to shooting 1x1. Also, this allows opting for a 1x1 crop nearer to the top of the vertical frame, as an alternative to using a shift lens for architecture.
Still exactly judging the the edges that are missing indication in the VF can be tricky. Esp if you're a fan of strict framing (like me), going by a perceived 1x1 sometimes leads to a composition that is too narrow or wide compared to the intended composition (the lines in the scene can trick the mind into misjudging in both directions). Also, the VF doesn't cover 100%, it's only approximately 100%... Shooting with some margin can help, but still... I sometimes have to resort to subtly using the Aspect slider in Lightroom's Lens corrections to make the scene fit the 1x1 crop as intended. For me this only happens when I am stitching images, since I have a KatzEye focusing screen with 1x1 crop lines installed in my K-3II (I've had this since my K20D). I don't really care about the image coming out of the camera being uncropped 3x2. I would, however, sorely miss the 1x1 crop lines in my viewfinder. One of the reasons I will probably stick to my K-3II...
