Yes, a number of my PhD students have done this (by which I assume you mean published a number of papers, which comprise the bound thesis). I found it to be a brilliant way of writing up, and it also takes a lot of the uncertainty out of the defense.

A viva can go either way - pass or fail. If you have a number of publications going into it, it would be very hard (but not impossible!) for the examiner to reject the thesis. (In my Uni, you need a minimum of three peer reviewed journal papers for a PhD by publication).
