Depends when you do that and it likely depends whom you ask.
The convention that we strongly encourage to follow is that *loading* an
ELisp file should not noticeably change Emacs's behavior (among other
things, because files may be loaded without the user's explicit
request). So doing such an `add-hook` at the top-level of your file
would probably not be considered as acceptable from that point of view
(unless activating `my-minor-mode` by default has no visible effect,
which is definitely possible but unusual).
