It doesn’t seem to be a problem according to texlive.tlpd:

name iftex
category Package
revision 29654
shortdesc Am I running under pdfTeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX?
longdesc The package, which works both for Plain TeX and for LaTeX,
longdesc defines the \ifPDFTeX, \ifXeTeX, and \ifLuaTeX conditionals for
longdesc testing which engine is being used for typesetting. The package
longdesc also provides the \RequirePDFTeX, \RequireXeTeX, and
longdesc \RequireLuaTeX commands which throw an error if pdfTeX, XeTeX
longdesc or LuaTeX (respectively) is not the engine in use.

According to texlive.tlpdb we should add a separate package for
ifluatex…

name ifluatex

shortdesc Provides the \ifluatex switch
longdesc The package looks for LuaTeX regardless of its mode and
longdesc provides the switch \ifluatex; it works with Plain TeX or
longdesc LaTeX. The package is part of the oberdiek bundle.

shortdesc Provides \ifetex switch
longdesc The package provides the switch \ifetex which indicates whether
longdesc e-TeX is available or not. The package can be loaded as LaTeX
longdesc package using \usepackage{ifetex} or in plain TeX using \input
longdesc ifetex. In either case it aborts silently if the \ifetex macro
longdesc is already defined. The package's test is whether \eTeXversion
longdesc is defined as a primitive; if it is, the package assumes e-TeX
longdesc features are available.
