Well, I didn't mean specifically in your example. You have a rather short crescendo there, so it makes sense starting the crescendo right away. But if you have a long passage that you want to get gradually louder, it is generally advisable to stay reserved with your crescendo markings and build up the sound more by adding instruments first.
But as I mentioned, you can very well also write a very long crescendo, as the conductor will generally know how to show it in a way that it doesn't grow too loud too fast.
