To register some new user? Go ahead. As a general purpose registration system? No. Don’t do that. You lose a lot of functionality, like the ability to reset passwords. Take a look at the volume of code in wp-login.php
. You are losing virtually all of that and replacing it with about a dozen lines.
Other than the registration and password reset/retrieval handling starting about here you are losing around 30 hooks (I’m not swearing to an accurate count) which means that numerous plugins will not function correctly.
