Should be fine. If the file is used by more than 200,000 pages on a single
wiki, we don't purge the pages using it on that wiki. In any case, I imagine
most cases where you do this sort of thing are for files used on less than 500
pages, which would be an inconsequential amount of pages to purge.

As a technical point, the pages in question aren't actually regenerated
immediately - what actually happens is they're marked as needing to be
regenerated next time someone visits them.
