I should point out, the character did not INTENTIONALLY jump into the monster. The monster made a swallow-whole attack. On a wizard who typically had multilayer defense plans for all sorts of things (such as, say, a ring of freedom of movement). That was maybe a poor choice on the monster's part.
But what I don't see is why this is "unwelcome". We were all having fun, and it was a really cool combat.
This feels like "but you can't ever, ever, have peanut butter in a kitchen, or someone might make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich". "... yes, they might, so?" "So those sandwiches are just one manifestation of what goes wrong when you have peanut butter in a kitchen."
I'm not seeing what the problem is.
