If the wild form tends to be inedible, then growing from seed will probably result in a high rate of inedible fruits. Pears are the only example that springs to mind, although I'm sure there are others. They still should make decent root stock for grafting.
A lot of fruits will fall in-between these two categories. Apples grown from seed are unpredictable. You may have to wait until they fruit before deciding what to do with them. But in my opinion, that's where the fun is

We've been wanting to do this but fear our voracious rodents (kangaroo rats, packrats, ground squirrels, etc.) would just dig everything up.

Then I poured it down any gopher hole I found, or around the mounds, or around any plant they ate. It seems to have worked. I haven't seen a gopher mound since late spring. Something to think about, anyway.
