Well curbs and bunny-hops aren't an issue. Pot-holes are. Its not as bad as it looks though, I have had it drop while riding once, it can't drop that much and it tends to just slow you to a halt, leaving tyre dust all over the fork crown.
After all, I'm only spacing it off the ends by the thickness of three sheets of paper, less then 0.5mm. I wouldn't recomend doing this in a situation where the hub slipping could cause the wheel to lock.
