It would work fine for me. Because the water pressure in my area is ludicrous to begin with. (Every plumbing project gets extra difficulty, though, because everything has to be perfectly sealed in order to handle the extra pressure, above what most pipes and fittings are designed for.)
Can you not regulate the incoming main?
Yeah, this is what a pressure reducing valve is for. Basically essential these days, because now things are made to spec, and they're not adding an extra gram of material to handle your 120 psi water main.
