It depends on what you mean by squatmornings (how bad would they be) and how often you'd do them. If they're very bad and you do them often, then you're going to:
1) Program yourself to execute faulty mechanics
2) Not gain any leg strength
3) Subject yourself to increased injury risks
You make the call.
There's a reason we want to do perfect-form squats - because they have their targets, and these targets are what we want to improve while also staying safe.
What you're proposing, to me, is like saying you're going to do half squats because you can use more weight, and no other argument than that. Or that you should use a bent-back deadlift form because you're going to lift more. And so on.
