In the early game it certainly can be. The drops from Greater Rift Guardians seem more rewarding than other activities that can be done by characters that can not complete higher level Rifts. This will probably be even more so once 2.1.2 as the XP and Gold rewards are adjusted. Also in the early game you will be wanting to get the gems anyway.
Once you can do T5/T6 efficiently the benefit probably drops away.
I agree with Oakover, when you're first starting out, you can start the trial and tp back to town before it the countdown timer starts and you'll get a level 1 key. Start there and just run through it like normal and you should get 3-4 extra grifts in, but when you get decent equipment and can do t5/t6 then I think normal rifts will end up with a better return. Once you get really geared and can do 30+ grfits quickly then it might be time to switch back to grifts. Just depends on where you are.
