There are a few folks doing short subs with low read noise cameras. That's perfectly fine because their subs, though short, aren't read noise limited. One day we will all probably be doing lucky imaging of DSOs with very short subs but we'll need affordable very low read noise sensors first.
Anybody doing very short subs with the sort of cameras that most of us currently use is getting suboptimal results. That doesn't mean that they aren't getting OK results. It does mean that they could get the same results in less time with longer subs.
This is not just an opinion. It's the way that photons and sensors work.
By all means keep experimenting, Lee. I'm sure you'll learn a lot from it and hopefully others will too. If nothing else, you'll start some more lively discussions
Cheers,
