Not if some poor schmoe forgets to dome his home province, it isn't. Being unable to profit from the province once you conquer it may be pretty disadvantageous in the long run, but not nearly as much as taking said economic losses along with a production hit in the only province that can produce Knights of the Chalice, spider warriors, lava warriors, etc.
