KSP is a singleplayer game in which you can basicaly do what you want. If you think, the revert flight button is cheating or undermines the challenge of the game: don't use it. This game is as hard or as easy as you want it to be. Nobody can prevent you from going into the config files for parts and build a super light, super strong and super efficient engine. For me, that wouldn't be too much fun, but maybe for someone else thats just what he/she wants. And its the same with the revert flight feature. If you don't like it, don't use it. If you think its okay: go ahead.
