I used to do that, certainly, 10-15 years ago when it was needed.
The main raison d'etre for /boot is that in the old days, the kernel
had to be located entirely within the first 1024 cylinders of the disk
or the first (32MB|512MB) depending on BIOS.
This is no longer the case, so there is now no need for a separate
/boot. You cannot boot a system from a functioning /boot alone - you
need / as well.
