if there are no other untrustworthy users and programs on your machine
then sure, otherwise that open's up everything to localhost. What I
would suggest instead is using X-MIT magic cookies or tunneling over
openSSH. OpenSSH can often times set those up automatically for you with
-X.
Is this still a replacement for gksu discussion though? You shouldn't
need to open things up like that to run lxsudo
