Yeah, maybe 8-10 years ago, but now it would seem ridiculous. Or the person who is moving around with a macpro, is not tech savvy enough to know he has better options.
That doesn't mean its a reasonable thing todo.
I have seen my share of live events, managed by couple of laptops/MBpro or at worst case scenarios AIOs.
I think the new macpro is a case of designer's dictating over practical applications. Most of the time it works well for Apple, but I am afraid, this might not be one of those case.
For a seriously pro user, this is nothing more than a toy.

Try driving a high resolution video wall with a MBP, especially if realtime rendering is involved. > For a seriously pro user, this is nothing more than a toy. I already gave you an example of what I’m going to be using it for: video. A MBP can edit regular HD footage (like from a 5D) but it simply doesn’t have enough power to edit footage from a professional camera like a RED Scarlet, Arri Alexa, or Canon C500. Fashion photographers have the same problem. For instance, a Leaf Aptus camera shoots at 80MP. That means you get RAW files of 80MB in size. Those are not fun to import or edit on a MacBook Pro. Fashion photographers and their crews don’t wait around for that, they bring Mac Pros.
