No, I am not in law enforcement, its a first line home defense option before more lethal options would be considered. I personally would NOT want to be shot with a taser. It looks painful as all hell.
Why do you have less than lethal options for home defense? Castle doctrine, assume that anyone entering your house without permission is there to cause you grievous bodily injury or to kill you, and dispatch them with extreme prejudice. I doubt the intruder is carrying less than lethal weapons with him, or that you'd be afforded such a courtesy.
