Burning a Token by Sending It to a Dead Wallet Address

Is it possible to burn a token via a smart contract by sending it to an invalid wallet, for example: klv0000000000000burn0000000000 ?

For tokens with a mint function that cannot be changed, is there any risk that tokens sent to that wallet could be recovered?

Is this approach safe and expected, or is it a very bad pattern?
