Nothing actively wrong with that, no. It certainly won't break anything. It's just rarely actually useful. The usual situation is that you run out of one kind of storage before the other (data vs metadata, that is), and you need to free up some allocation of one of them so it can go to the other. This is typically too much data allocation, and metadata has run out (so -d is more often used than -m). For the "usual" case of running out of metadata allocation, you don't actually need much space to reclaim, so -dlimit=X for small X is an easier approach to use.
