I realise this isn't strictly about module development, but it doesn't really fit the other categories as I figured it was quite technical.

At present I am using SOLR with search API and facets to create some search based views. However, I'm wondering if it is a good idea to use the SOLR indexes for all my related views.

It seems faster and it would take some of the strain of the database. 

So, any reasons not to?

There's nothing wrong with using Solr to display Views and I've done it in the past.

The only thing is, you'll have an added dependency on Solr. You'll need to think about what your site will look like if the Solr server is down.
