That is pretty much the key for me.
As long as most of your riding is in a straight line.......and you start to drag parts with a 15 degree lean.......then why not.
I have, however, ridden a bike before with the rear worn flat in the center and it was NOT FUN.
I suspect that many of those who change don't really know enough about riding to actually know when the handling goes to hell.
Burk: 1/4 clearance doesn't sound like much to me. The tire will expand and change profile a tiny bit when inflated; everything will have to be just perfect for it not to rub.
