Instrument Protective Function (IPF) Review

I haven't heard of the term IPF. I guess it is akin to Hazop or shutdown review? If yes, then it is useful - definitely.

What you've described, as Ashereng noted, is what is commonly referred to as a HAZOP. Yes, it is not only useful, it would be negligent not to do so. You'll need to go through all of the what-if's and permutations of what could possibly go wrong to make sure that regardless of what upset condition is imposed on the system,there are mechanism's & safe guards in place to prevent a catstrophe.
