There's a whole xenotype in Rimworld that started because of this haha.
In my opinion, it's a bad idea. We're in a period of time, which will most likely be brief, where we can organ transplant, but can't yet grow/print organs. It's better to skip over the animal sacrifice and just push towards better tech.
The vanilla races expanded mod makes it so they have pork flesh, so it doesn't count as cannibalism when your colonists butcher them, and they have a gene where they slowly regenerate organs, so you can farm them for lungs and kidneys.

I agree, this sounds like something will have some unintended consequences.

You can probably get more meat from raiders than trying to farm a buncha piglets.
What do you think gets sacrificed to grow organs? I'll give you hint, it's not dumb animals.
Organ harvesting was always a fun playthrough method.
