That's how I do it here. The setup goes by so quickly (even for 8
vty's), you'll hardly notice it. My /etc/rc.i386 script loads in the
80x50 font (if it exists), scans /dev for virtual consoles, sets each
one to 50 lines and a full-height block cursor, then drops me into
ttyv1. I reserve ttyv0 for console messages.
