pretty much.
its not like filing a frame is going to make it more fragile
BUT:
filing the axles- simple- 5 mins with a file maximum.
dropouts- if you get it slightly misaligned- and you will- you might get axle slippage when the nut bites incorrectly. then life is not so peachy.
but fuck it, don't save time, spend a while with your file and get to know the rear end of your bike.
