You'd have to know your pards pretty well, a situation like that could get sticky. People can get a bit squirrely when it comes to land and money. Control issues.

And, from what I've seen and experienced, a few end up doing most of the work, which can cause issues, even resentment.

Sometimes a lease with a good set of rules may be the best alternative, easier to get out of than a big capital investment.

But, like anything else, guess it depends on the people involved. I don't think it's something I would want to do.
