No problem there. The lethal combination is 'hardware' arcs AND

You _might_run into a clearance issue, but that will depend on the
fabhouse rules for surcharge on small clearances.
One of my fabhouses charges extra for clearance under 5 mils so I
have a general clearance design rule set to 5 mils. But when I used
software arcs the actual clearance in the Gerbers turne dout te be
smaller than that. There was a little extra time so I re-generated
the Gerbers with software arcs unchecked to keep the cost down.
