is it alright to have a ref on state (from a reducer) to avoid creating new callbacks?

I often have a use case where there is some state in reducer and it needs to be accessed in some callback (useCallback) as well

const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState);
...
const handleAction = useCallback(()=>{
   // dependency on state 
},[])

to avoid running useCallbacks on every state change, I reach out for a ref and have the state assigned to it on every render

 stateRef.current = state;

and then where ever i have to use something from state in a callback, it is accessed from the stateRef. Is this a right way of doing it?
