So it seems that at least for some scenarios, it can work. There´s some parameters like the grid resolution that could be tuned. Also, there is no check for giant pose jumps in hector_mapping currently (as these do not appear to happen for our use cases), but there definitely is room for improvement there. Means you would have to dig into the code though.
