Yes.

Unless it's clear that the answer was simply a quick demo to get the
idea across.

Often I will ignore UJ principles because the solution is clearer in
this medium if I give the obtrusive alternative. Typically I will make
some comment about how this isn't the "most correct" way to do this,
to head off any comments from UJ proponents.

Example from a couple hrs ago:

Oh how it pained me to type those innerHTML's, btw.
