  Well, in my field of work (telephony, radar and radio signal transmission) it makes totally sense (altought Terawatts would be major words 😄). It is a non trivial conversion that we make quite frequently.
  
  If the question is between dBm and dBW as a common unit, I would go for dBm with no doubt. In my experience dBm is widely more used that its counterpart dBW. Also, as a quick and dirty comparison, one can check the difference in length and quality of those two articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel_watt.
  
  If it is wether decibel power units are common globally, I would say (knowing that I have a field bias) that at least as important as horsepower on a different field. 
  Of course, I will gently (and happily) accept your decision. Just wanted to provide some context.
