Hi Joey, This should be OK but you need to make sure that you understand what files are hard linked to the skel and how this affect's things.
Depending on how the files are replaced, you may end up updating the files in the skel (and so every VS) or you may end up splitting the link between the VS and the skel for the files that you replace. It all depends on whether the program you use to update existing files (rpm, tar, etc) updates files by actually changing their contents (in which case the link to the skel will remain) or whether it updates files by removing the first file and copying the newer file in its place (resulting in the link to the skel being broken.) I hope that makes sense.
