Not much long term in a civilizational collapse, but even then it might still be useful before everyone realizes what's going on.

I think that's probably an unusually high level of commitment to nonviolence.

It's also creates moral dilemmas: allowing someone to be "raped, tortured, and killed" by others is harming that person. All your principle may mean in practice is the innocent are the ones harmed and the guilty are left unharmed.
