as per running a 442 straight to camera - it's very common in the ENG/doc world - because there's no time/budget for someone to deal with the isolated audio tracks in post.

Even if you don't mix the mics for recording you need to be able to MONITOR them mixed in order to be able to hear if there is a problem when they are combined (ie phase). Remember that even though you may not be mixing the mics together on the set they will EVENTUALLY have to be combined in some fashion in the mix. The time to fix mic position problems is during RECORDING not during POST.
