Yes.  Some of us have been doing that individually (and not
using `scroll-lock-mode').

E.g.:
(global-set-key [S-down] (lambda () (interactive) (scroll-up   1)))
(global-set-key [S-up]   (lambda () (interactive) (scroll-down 1)))

(But named functions are better than anonymous ones, for key binding.
And yes, it would be good to let a numeric prefix arg scroll that
many lines.)
