As a far future concept, it's viable. If you had a kilometres long ship on an interstellar voyage, with access to large amounts of power and traveling at a good fraction of lightspeed then this is a fairly good system to use. But for near term spaceflight it's simply unnecessary. Debris is widely scattered and nothing that a good Whipple sheild can't deal with
