Yes.  I've done stuff where low-resolution ADCs are suitable.  Believe 
it or not, we are currently rebuilding an 80-year old hydraulic press 
for one of our customers.  We are using one of these:

and monitoring hydraulic pressure with the onboard 10-bit ADC.  In this 
particular application, 8 bits would likely be sufficient.

An expansion module with a 15-bit ADC is doing the critical task of 
measuring position from some LVDTs.
