I agree in that you shouldn't choose replacement drivers at random. However, for a recycled, ported cabinet, if you get a Q somewhere in the 0.5 and 0.7 range, I don't think it's going to be all that terrible. Ports can often be altered and there are enough compromises made along the way in designing a cabinet that there is some degree of leeway in cabinet-driver matching. Certainly a cabinet can be made too small, but you can always add something to occupy the internal volume if it's too large.
If what you were saying was universally true, there would be one ideal cabinet for each driver which we know is not the case. As long as you are careful in your driver selection and can make some alterations, seems like it can be made to work.
Happy to hear other opinions on this matter.
