When we bought our first house we specifically opted to pay taxes and insurance ourselves. I already pay other bills and our car insurance and home were bundled anyway. On our current house, we're paying insurance ourselves. We had to be at a higher percent down in order to pay taxes ourselves (we already put 20% down but I believe the bank required 30%). If you feel you can handle it then sure but you still need to discuss the specifics with your bank.
