Basically, it's not semantic. If you want some vertical space, add some vertical space, and not a paragraph with a non-breaking space.

The effect might most of the time be what you want, but you can't easily style it. What if you want more or less space? What if a page-break happens just after it? What if you (or someone else) decides to have paragraphs with a coloured background?
