Yes. If you have already decided to run your mains full range and/or do not have a crossover then the question is only how high can you set the sub before it overlaps too much.
The crossover allows you to control the low and high pass filters among other controls and makes blending your sub easier. It also allows the sub to be less of the blunt instrument you mentioned.
