I've seen this work well, especially with some flexibility. Had a very dramatic underperformer on a team that sat near me. His lead went down every paperwork rabbit hole to get him fired, and the improvement plan was the last step. He simply couldn't knock out a simple backlog item without a lot of help. I'm not sure how he graduated with a degree. But the improvement plan had him doing some ops work as well as development, and low and behold he was a natural born ops wizard... It all made sense to him. Had never heard of k8s or helm and was spitting out helm charts, docker files, conan files etc. in less than a month, burning down the whole teams ops backlog.
