I have used an NDB that was NOTAMed OTS, but with a non-directional beacon you either get a signal and it works or you dont and it doesnt, there is no grey area. With a GS you may be recieveing the signal but it might be missing a component or improperly configured or be intermittent and unreliable. Like others I would not trust being that close to the ground with an unreliable signal.
