Jonathan,

So many sites do that. In fact, as a developer, I would insert the <nav> in the <header>. Some put it in the footer, which I am not a fan of as I'd like the important links to be at the top of the DOM.

This is more of a UX issue than WCAG. Having said so, do not confuse the 2. UX issues is how you'd like the page to be laid out. WCAG are the guidelines to ensure the content is accessible to users.

You would never want to enforce your UX as a WCAG. It is very bad practice and in the field you'd get more people frowning at you than working with you.
