SpaceX tests these in prod. Kinda like Artemis I did.

And this is actually a decent strategy, but you can only really do this when you have lots of unmanned flights.

Nothing stops you from doing this with manned flights except that it's not culturally accepted currently.

But maybe that changes as NASA will demonstrate with artemis 2 and 3 (which will then use another newly desiged heat shield).
