I’ve used this method in quite a few applications until I found out about using admin-ajax.php, so pretty much simply put, no, I don’t think it will cause any problems.
Although I do recommend using the method that WordPress describes! In my opinion it is much easier and works nearly the same (or better) as the method you are describing.
