That's a cool way I had never thought about it being used. Just for my own curiosity do you know if that is a common use case in the protein solving field? (I'd imagine it would also be useful in NMR experiments for getting initial point labels).
It is quite common to use predicted models as an aid for phasing and molecular replacement; even Foldit models have been adopted for that purpose: https://www.nature.com/articles/nsmb.2119
