Yes, but it's not a deal-killer: seeing as it's been running for years
as-is, it'll be fine. I thought it was a new configuration and you did
that. I'm with you: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. In this case, it's
slightly broken, but not terribly. It affects performance more than
anything.
What is happening is that the nightly process (which deletes old backups,
among other things) is runnning at the same time as your backup. That
causes the hard drive to thrash, and the backup will take longer (rather
noticeably longer, depending on the size of your pool). Obviously not the
end of the world, but not recommended.
Given that change, if and when you create a *new* BackupPC server, you
might not want to blindly use your current configuration. The previous
person seems to either liked to make configuration changes for the fun of
it (or when they didn't really understand what they were doing), or didn't
mind making big changes to solve smaller problems. Either way, that's
probably not a configuration you want to swallow without looking.
