Water heater hot water trapper - good idea?

Filtering the cold inlet and flushing the heater makes sense for long-term maintenance. But in a case like he described where the dip tube already failed and debris is moving through the system wouldn’t a temporary filter on the hot outlet help catch the remaining particles before they reach fixtures and appliances? Just wondering if running one for a short period after repair could save a lot of aerator cleaning while the system clears out.
