Technically yes, but if you have enough RAM (i.e. your application is not consuming all of the client RAM) it _probably_ won't be an issue. There is a risk of deadlock due to the VM if you run client-on-server, but in most cases this doesn't get hit. The bigger issue in most cases is that if one of your clients dies then the data on that client will not be accessible.
