We have built product with via holes only .010 off the edge of the routed
edge or even routed them in half to act as an edge connector. This
process usally adds cost or leads to shorts with some chassis part. As a
rule high speed routing has a tolerance of +- .005" which may lead to
trouble.
If you review most peoples UL file you will find that they are required
to have conductive surfaces .020"from the edge of the board.
