That was a one off ship taken in a hostile boarding action.
e.g. There's a difference between sneaking onto Endor aboard the captured shuttle Tydirium in a covert operation and the New Republic flying around everywhere in evil looking Imperial shuttles.
It may have been a one-of, but it still worked. A former war ship being used for good.
I'm with Silverwook on this one. It should be done because within the Star Wars universe (or any sci-fi universe), it would be done. You wouldn't let that much technology and ability go to waste after a war.
You might even sell one into the private sector. If they can maintain it, crew it, and use it - why not?....
