The two things that I'd keep in mind are that feeder snakes are way more expensive than rodents and the availability of non-feeder corn snakes is far more limited than rodents. A kingsnake could get "hooked" on snakes and refuse to eat rodents - then you'll always be in need of a limited, relatively expensive food item.
Common kings that refuse rodents will almost always eat other snakes (in my experience) so there are uses for non-feeder corns, but I wouldn't use them in place of rodents if the snake is already on a rodent diet.
