There's no reason not to. (x)inetd is usefull when the resources are limited, and when it's better to have a single process listening for incoming connections, but in my server there are plenty resources for a stand-alone FTP server and the other services too (openVPN, sftp, ssh, Postfix), so why would I make it difficult with secondary xinetd process? Anyway, this has nothing to do with the problem.
It has everything to do with the problem - if you run vsftpd from xinetd there is no need to manually restart it when adding/deleting/changing user accounts. In fact that's one of the main reasons we switched to xinetd. But, that doesn't answer your question, so I will respectfully bow out of the discussion now.
