I would. A common thing I like to do is start working on top of work that's in a Pull Request. For example, maybe a coworker is adding an API that I want to use. So long as I'm confident the API won't have drastic changes, and there's just smaller polish or testing to be added, I can branch off of their branch and start working without delay. This also gives me a window to live on top of the changes and give feedback from usage even faster (maybe even before it officially lands).
