In the Tintin comic, “Destination Moon,” they do exactly this. The rocket is nuclear powered, maintains 1g acceleration until the halfway point where they flip and decelerate. Takes them only a few hours.

This is also how space travel works in the Expanse series. Typically they travel at 0.3g to save fuel (plus a few other reasons) but it makes most tasks relatively the same

Loved Tintin, did not know he had the same idea 😀
