Recording with Measurement Mics

If the goal of a live recording is to record the instruments as
faithfully as possible to the source audio, wouldn't a measurement
mic with a flat response be preferred over a mic with a response
that's not flat?
For example, if I wanted to record a guitar playing through a 1x12
cab at a reasonable volume, wouldn't a flat response mic be preferred
if the goal were to record the sound coming out of the cab as
accurately as possible?
I posted a similar question some time ago, and one person brought
up the idea that low self noise may not be a primary objective when
designing a measurement mic. That's important to me because I
often record quieter sounds.
