Can we use current_state/next_state signals for particular output signal generation?

Just a concern about output signal generation from FSM...

Can we use current_state and next_state signals for particular output signal generation?

// cosider below FSM is based on one-hot encoding :|
e.g. fsm_out = ( !cur_state[7] && next_state[7]);

Is it bad coding style? If Yes, then why?
 

FSM outputs

This sort of makes a "mealy" kind of state machine.

It is not necessary bad, but you should be aware that this signal is generated asynchronously and directly depends on inputs (if next state depends on inputs)
