I've done this time and time again.

Me too.
I now tighten the trem claw screws so it's virtually a hardtail and I remove a tone pot and move the volume down a hole. Wire the remaining tone as a master too. Makes it a bit more tele-ish with regard ergonomics.
I think a strat works better ergonomically for players who pick/strum over the neck and middle pickups. A lot of us tele player play near the bridge and rest our hand on it. That's trickier on a strat.
