Johan,

You are correct - it will work. But as Avi points out, if the legacy system
slows down your day will be ruined, either because every request times out or
because your server gets clogged up with blocked beans.

If you are sure your legacy system will never slow down, then go ahead,
otherwise look for a more robust solution.
