We do this (and have done for decades) a lot. Returning to GMing after a long time, this past weekend I said on more than one occasion to one of the players who had just had his turn, "can you check on..." or "can you work out...". In fact, a lot of the time, the players automatically do that and let the GM know they have some feedback that might help.

Oh, yes. Large portions of world building can (and I believe should) be influenced in this way.
I don't think I've ever met a good GM who doesn't use the players' design decisions in their world building.
