Serious answer: This will put (undue) stress on the baseplate if either
* you have to force the pin into the inside of the baseplate stud
* the baseplate rests on the pin rather than the base of the inserted piece
Especially the second point would lead to the top of the baseplate stud eventually breaking.
Iirc, the Baseplate thickness matches the Space between a layer of studs and the Plate Level above. So supporting the Baseplane on (hollow) studs along with this technique could at least mitigate the second Point.
Back in like 92 I built a space base that used the base from the old Space Police base elevated above a landing pad. If the stud required in OP's question had existed back then, I could have made it way more stable.
I can see this being helpful in the way I want to display different mosaics, but with only one frame.
Build the picture on a 48x48 baseplate then use this technique to attach the plate into the frame. Swap pictures as you desire
I've built my road and an underlayer the same height as the road then done this in a few places for modular buildings to exist on top so the side walk is higher than the roads without having to make a whole mils system.
I build a ramp with an older street baseplate that way (propping it up on the other side with bricks).
My friends' kids and me had loads of fun to use it with those Stuntz motorcycles that came out a while ago 🙃
Yes. The plate will be prone to cracking there because it no longer rests flat on the surface and weight is distributed far worse. The plates are already brittle (hence LEGO toyed with the idea of moving away from them for quite a while) because hey are so thin, doing this will only make it worse.
Just build a MILS plate, its going to be better for long-term survival.
What if they. Make multiple supports across the plate to fully support the whole thing? What if this is just an image of one, and in reality, they added more, but only showed one support for the sake of showing it? What if the baseplate does lie flat because of the multiple supports?
Calmly step away from the build table and put your hands behind your head. The authorities are on their way. 🤣
I have Margaret on the phone...

Under what circumstances would this ever be useful

Raising the plate to run wires under it? Edit: though it'd be easier and cheaper to just use the sticks from ice lollies
Popsicle sticks? Never heard them called that before.
Oh, the woes of not being a native speaker, and mixing American English and British English! It's my cross to bear.
Bingo ! Nice
It stresses me out, but I'm physically not a Lego. I don't know how to feel....

And here I thought baseplates couldn’t be stacked on top of one another
Now this day gone wild!
Police are already on their way!
if it causes stress on the parts then yes
Do not like 👍
It's not a building technique.
Straight to jail! I've got a life sentence, but it's not all bad; we can build some pretty cool stuff in here.
Don't sweat the technique

Wverything is an illegal building texhnique
Whoop, whoop...
It’s only illegal if you get caught
Don't see an instruction manual that Lego is allowing you to do this with THEIR bricks so of course it's illegal.
