FWIW RFC 4861 allows for this.

Section 7.3 says:
    Neighbor Unreachability Detection is used for all paths between hosts
    and neighboring nodes, including host-to-host, host-to-router, and
    router-to-host communication.  Neighbor Unreachability Detection may
    also be used between routers, but is not required if an equivalent
    mechanism is available, for example, as part of the routing
    protocols.
