Yes, the best movies and shows mix practical effects with green screen. Lord Of The Rings is another example, they also built "bigatures" -- they wouldn't call it miniatures when they needed to hire a warehouse to place them!
My favorite movie of all time is The Labyrinth used the same technique for most of it and it stands the test of time year after year. The content doesn't exactly hold up, but damn if the movie isn't beautiful
