During the times I have practiced this I have noticed that it is comfortable to place a hand to hold the mouth shut and mask on, during the swim to the surface. On the other hand, I have had people drag me to the surface by my face and it doesn't feel very easy on the neck or jaw...if I were BO'd I guess I wouldn't notice.

I'm not sure how I would handle in water rescue breathing AND be able to
tow the person while wearing a monofin. I guess it is all what you are used to.
