I see two risks, really:
1- some of the regexps used may overlap with some pre-existing entries
on the default `auto-mode-alist`. I don't know that it's the case,
but I think there are enough regexps in `generic-x` and on
`auto-mode-alist` to make such an overlap possible if not likely.
2- They're only added to `auto-mode-alist` when `generic-x` is loaded,
which may be too late: they may end up hiding entries added by
user-installed ELPA packages or by some other part of the user's
init file.
So, maybe a better solution is to make sure the entries are added to the
*end* of `auto-mode-alist`, which should make them harmless enough.
Stefan
PS: FWIW, in my case it would make them largely ineffective since I have:
(setq auto-mode-alist (append auto-mode-alist '(("\\.[^/.]+\\'" ignore t))))
