Sure, why not?

I personally prefer my setup whereby I have included the IANA testbed:
https://ns.iana.org/dnssec/status.html.

In other words, I use their root hints and zonefiles in my test-environment.

In fact, I even managed to get an appearantly valid chain of trust all
the way up to my 'home.forfunsec.org' testdomain with it. Quite
instructive and fun to play with. :-)
