Good evening,
I’ve setup a mod rewrite to catch old page requests (301) and push them to the correct named page. That works a treat so I decided to setup a 404 rewrite to push you to the home page if you mistyped the page.
Thinking about it, I like the catchall that this provides but is it good etiquette or should I have a proper 404 page.
regards

Yes, you need a 404 page.
It tells the user that they made an error or the page no longer exists. The 404 should then have a link back to the homepage or relevant page.
It’s also necessary for finding error pages on your site. If you miss something, you’ll be able to use a tool to find the 404s on your site, and then correct them.
