Do not use that approach unless it's acceptable to lose an entire file (either because the data is not of any importance or you have backups). If the pipeline is killed for some reason, you will lose data.
Personally, I would go with sort -m. As drl mentioned, this situation is dealing with two sorted files (the large pre-sorted file and a word which could easily be written to a temp file).
