I doubt any company would have supported that configuration officially in the past. That it happened to work is another matter entirely. One of the engineering improvements that (as an armchair viewer) believe needs to be made is better communication of auto-pilot state to the crew. ANY deviation from designated human input needs to be clearly communicated to the pilots so they know what the hell is doing it and if necessary which system(s) to disable to regain full manual control.
