Bonsai Noodles

Would deadwood be advisable with certain trees (like some pines or spruces) if they're going to be garden trees? I've seen mammoth bonsai with beautiful deadwood. I wonder if it's possible to do the same for trees in the ground... Maybe it's a bad idea because of the risk of further dieback and disease? Or well, maybe not the microbial dangers but the pesky rodents too...
