Yes..... that's a great idea!

Whenever you would like to bother your neighbor, a company, an ISP or
whoelse, just send spoofed packets with anybody else's IP address to
get them blacklisted.

And even when not using IP spoofing, if you're miscoding such a
system or there's a bug in the design, be sure it will get hacked and
communications will be brought down. It's a possible point for an
attacker to get whole networks down. It would be a single point of
failure (SPOF).
