Can't see any problem with that, wheelbuilding is a relatively low risk activity
You say that, but bringing spokes which are much too short to full tension might easily lead to a catastrophic nipple failure, and the free part can fly off at surprising speed. Not a problem once you have tape on the rim bed, but on the truing stand with your face in the firing line that could have your eye out.
