People do it all the time for LWN. NYT offers subscribers a similar ability to generate free links to paywalled content.

FYI, many US public libraries offer free access to NYT subscription content (which can be used to generate free links).

The NYT subscriber links recently changed, it now requires making a free account to use the link.

But to be clear, the rule is against unofficial mirroring. Officially sanctioned methods are fine.
