I am doing the same thing when I am working on metal style productions
when you want the bass drum sound tighter and punchy, and the compressor is not good enough.
I am micing all the kit with shure sm57 because of the attack of this mic I can easily retriger them.
So at the end I got a nice source of the drum kit, and I am combining it with the triggered kit. so you get sound that is 50/50 ,50%human 50% machine .
I did it also in the past and I agree. In my last record I used a AT 250 Dual mic, with din and condenser mics on the same mic, I took the din signal and put it to fill the bottom end, and the condenser output i used it for the top, I eq ‘d and compress it properly for the typical kick , and add a crunchy distorsion, then I comp again both of them and make them blend with the rest….. so great results, so natural, no drum trigger….I can send the track if someone is interested to hear the results
