That's smart, using renderings like that for material prototyping. You could create your material setup and check it out on the unfinished model without having it unwrapped beforehand.

I also like the idea and the workflow - but to be honest, I would invest the time to layout UV´s and bake.
Because baking is such a great strength of SD, and if you use automatic UV unwrapping, the whole process will take you half an hour or so.
