It will not be an impediment, if you have a flat document with single valued field interested, you can use Pivot Facets and apply stats over the facets as well. Take a look to the modern Json faceting approach Yonik introduced. Since I start using it I strongly recommend it, it's amazingly clear to define your faceting structure, store it in a file in Json and use it at query time !
I am a strong supporter of this approach, it is young but already powerful. Pretty sure it will help you.
