While not common practice, military does prove safe in the same manor (looking down the barrel form the muzzle end) in ceremony.
I know there is a picture of the MND staring down the barrel of a C7 floating out there somewhere, can't find it though.

While I don't enjoy doing it, it is 100% necessary for some firearms where you can not properly observe the entire barrel from the rear. You are not just looking to see if there is a round in the chamber, you are looking for any and all obstructions.

You have already proven the chamber and feed path clear so its safe to look down the barrel. Adding in a bore light is what I like to do though, it blocks the chamber and feed path thus preventing anything somehow getting in there, and it illuminates the bore so you can properly prove that it is safe as well.

My instructors were fine with us using a snake or cleaning rod w/ patch or brush to prove the bore safe as well. <-- This is my preferred method.

Barrel obstructions are no joke and you should check for them.
