Scupper as primary storm drain?

I know it's allowed in residential applications. Is there a scenario where a scupper would be allowable as the primary system of roof drainage? In this case it's a very low one story building and we are looking at scuppering a smaller section of roof. There's plenty of non-paved area around the building to accommodate the water.

Thanks!
