That quick hack is exactly the approach we've taken with new technical hires this summer. We are a "vagrant up and go" shop, but there are a bunch of steps between handing someone a laptop and running your app in vagrant. We took the time to document the process and used it in onboarding. We made it explicitly clear that if you notice issues, please fix them, which has the intended side effect of familiarizing the new hire with our development practices (pull requests, reviews, etc).

It worked extremely well!
