Sure--however you get the shot is great. But in my opinion you could have made this shot sing more with flash anway. I personally couldn't care less about the window highlights, though if I wanted to preserve them, the flash on the subject would have done a better job of that, too.
And we're nowhere near Noctilux territory here anyway. The 21 Elmarit on the M8 would have done the same job--or very close--at ISO 1250 and with a little bit of bounced flash the results would have been even better. The tighter crop would have made a better story, too.
Crummy light is crummy light. Often very low light is crummy light. I fight against that way more often than low ISO. YMMV
