In fact, this seems to be the most efficient/effective method especially for those who are farming at Crystal 1 and above.
There are several reasons for doing so:
1) With a maxed out TH10 base with all level 10 walls and some level 11 walls, I only get attacked once every 2 days or so and this only results in a gain of trophies and hardly any resources lost. This is because most of the all-out attackers attepting to raid my base are "less-skilled" users who are lacking in choosing the right base to attack. It almost feels like I have a 2-day shield.
2) Free shield isn't really free. You still lose 1,000 gold per TH sniped (plus some resources in your outer pumps). I haven't lost more than 40k gold in forever.
3) With the trophies gained overnight through defense, I can freely go ahead and drop cups when farming, using just my AQ to target storages/pumps making multiple attacks in a very short time without the burden of dropping off the targeted loot bonus range.
4) I purposely leave my abundant elixir storages outside my walls so I can gain even more trophies overnight. For example, last night I was raided 5 times with a total of 2 million elxiir stolen but less than 2,000 gold (from pumps) and no DE taken. Instead, I've racked up +87 trophies. Now I can go farm back down and afford to lose those trophies I won overnight.
*Elixir is never a problem since I max out 8 mil everyday just from barching - always overflowing.
