Highly impractical or downright dangerous. Pressure, temperature, ventilation and bad accessibility make such concepts very risky. They’re not impossible but they’re largely unnecessary. They’re cool in fiction but in practice they wouldn’t really be that cool. That being said bunkers and military bases have been dug inside mountains. Going deep underground is not wise for many reasons, as is deep underwater.
