Iirc @ColinTheBald has views on this.
Mainly what you have identified and needing a good base.
I wrote the idea off when I discovered that they're ~£1 per brick... So potentially £120 p/m² vs ~£100p/m² for porcelain tiles.
Obviously if you can get some from a skip and it's a small enough number thsy cleaning them up isn't going to take forever it seems viable.

Making a garden path from reclaimed bricks: terrible idea? My biggest worry is it will disintegrate at the first sign of frost. Would make it as permeable as possible, bound edge and unbound sub-base.
I'm seeing nice looking things on Google images but they look like they're in sunny places.
