That's been the experiment for riders in my group. Most doing are riding bikes like the Hightower which is spec's with both wheel sizes, but not changing the forks.
Others are trying out the Super Boost, which I not sure whether it will catch on. Most of my bikes are still 142rear and I've been holding out to go with regular boost. Though a few of my bikes do have dropouts which can convert to 148.
What's the rear travel on your bike?
the Mixer builds are called Mullet bikes by me
