Lol! I only think it's okay in one type of instance...

"It's much more annoying to see unflatering discriptions. If I'm reading about a character I find them attractive and I don't wanna hear about too large noses or average faces. I'd rather read about emerald eyes and flowing locks than hear an author's subjective criticism of their looks."

I think it's okay whenever a character is "strange" looking in canon. A really good example of this is Saitama from One Punch Man. He normally looks like a literal egg for much of the series (for those who don't know: https://img.mipon.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/05164321/saitama-one-punch-man-oppai-shirt1.jpg)...but when he gets "serious" during fights and certain moments, he suddenly looks like this (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4a/bd/23/4abd23f868098f208985b912c1892755.jpg). Both states are equally canon.

I see people in fanfics often write him as having quite plain/nondescript features which is often exacerbated by his "blank" look most of the time (fandom is like 99% sure Saitama is meant to have some form of depression), but when he opens up and is doing something he enjoys/takes concentration/otherwise brings him out of his "blah" funk, it makes him handsome in an unconventional way.

I rather like this headcanon that a large portion of the fandom has adopted.It works really well for the OTP of the fandom too, Saitama/Genos, because it would be very in-character for Genos to notice and want to bring out those moments of engagement/happiness from Saitama..
