Yes, I typically use ob-R and ob-python in this way. Aside from the
convenience of interacting directly with the REPL, the comint mode may
provide other useful facilities, for example in ob-R the inferior ESS
mode provides completion that is aware of the objects in the current
session.

However I think modifying `org-babel-eval' will mainly be useful to
provide async to the nonsession users. Comint-based sessions mainly use
functionality from ob-comint.el, not ob-eval.el, and I think that the
use cases are different enough that they shouldn't be merged into a
single implementation.
