Steve,
What I'd potentially worry about is whether the assembly will see
higher temperatures for a long time while in storage, to the degree
that intermetallic can grow thick and potentially consume all solder
in some of the joints. I had a case where the assembly with a hand
soldered part were in field for a few years at 60-70 C and a layer of
solder in the component joints were completely replaced by the
intermetallic, causing overheating and short.
So, your potential assembly can turn on, but could "burn down" soon
after.
