Absolutely! Using thorn and not wynn or any oþer runics is already arbitrary; choosing Middle English instead of Old English is just taste, and I'm not even doing Middle English correctly.
I like eth, too,and I þink if I were agitating for bringing back thorn I'd probably be more inclined to include eth. Þat's not why I use thorn, þough, so I just stick to a bare minimum.
