I would be wary of this being the superior winning state, but definitely an alternative. I've done exactly this in my career as a tech lead only for it to burn me, and probably 2/3rds of the time the best thing for everyone is to simply "Save the Sprint" and not become mired in discussions that often are for personal empire building that strategic leadership would hate.
Maybe people have different experiences than me on this, feel free to speak up!
