I think on most hubs it's fine, but on some the fixed hub has fewer threads. It depends on the hub, though.
I would have thought that none of this matters unless the backside of the freewheel fouls the hub before fully engaging all available threads.
When engaged a freewheel places no additional force on the threads than a screw on sprocket, no?
