I've thought about this before, particularly for things like filling in station gaps (McCormick, for example, or Beverly/Dundas for Stage 2). It feels like it would be really hard to manage, just because of the absolute disruption it would cause to rip out sections of the track. You'd have to run shuttle buses for months to get around construction areas, and I think you'd have a hard time selling people on it. That said, Metrolinx is currently adding new stations along the Kitchener GO line within Toronto with seemingly little disruption, so maybe it's plausible?
