Yes, but only use fractals for initial geometry, just to get some structure and then reduce the complexity and imposing a lower limit on the recursive cell size. The routine would be run once at level creation and then the geometry would optimized. I disagree about fractals losing all their interestingness when they aren't zoomable. There's still a slew of visual complexity. Maybe they wouldn't be as interesting, but they are oodles more interesting than spheres.
