Why not?
The necessity of duplicating settings in the xrdb data base if you want
at avoid your initial frame resizing itself 10 times at startup is both
annoying and confusing. Simply waiting a bit to map the frame seems
like quite a reasonable solution.
A splash screen, whether hardwired or a hacked emacs frame that avoids
the initial-settings issues would seem to take care of "users will get
worried" issues.
