Yes people do it quite alot with just one chinchilla. Like you said as long as they aren't eating it.

I've given Zeus two stuffed animals, he has a tiger that is slightly larger than him that he snuggles with when he sleeps. He also has a little blue moose that he carries with him. He doesn't chew on either of them but he does pick his moose up and swings it about, we call it his moose dance (it's quite adorable). We've also caught him cleaning his moose as if it were another chinchilla.

 As long as your chinny doesn't chew their stuffed animal then I'm sure it would be fine... It might take several tries to figure out what your chin might like, or won't chew.

That is so cute!!! Snickerdoodle recently started to clean me... Well, when I shove my face in his. He nibbles my face like "oh, you're dirty, let me clean!" I love that sweet animal :)

Aw! Zeus hasn't really started to clean either of us yet... But he does shove his little paws in my hair and proceeds to fluff it outwards... Right before chewing it of course. I'm always trying to explain to him that I don't need a haircut, he doesn't seem to believe me though.  rofl
 He also chews my fingernails when they get longer, but he's usually right and I need to cut them. ::)

Haha Snickerdoodle learned the hard way that hair is not a snack XD He found a stray hair on the floor and ate it but he couldn't get it out when he realized it was uncomfortable hahaha.
Haha we tell Snix all types of things, like "You're dirty. Clean yourself!" (I LOVE when he cleans himself... he's like a fluffy teddy bear <3)
Snix likes to eat my dead skin. It's gross but hilarious!
