Not really... people I talked to said they can perfectly handle that
(adjusting colours later in a layout program for example, or simply addign
a matching colour profile).
On the other hand, many layout programs simply treat files as CMYK, even
if they are RGB, which is a lot worse since it cannot be fixed easily.
Also, no information is being destroyed, since you had no colour profile
in RGB, the simple formula is a good as any other.

Unfortunately, the printer often can't or won't do that, since the
printer wants CMYK no matter what.
