Back-powering the pi itself

When using a Pi3 with IOPi plus in an embedded system, it there any reason not to use the +5V and 0V terminals on the IOPi to back-power the raspberry pi ? I realise the link will need to be made, but will the pi power up normally with 5V supplied through the bus pins or does it require power through the usb connector?
