Why not? Its a great feature. My (two) systems have been running
entirely ~x86 ever since I installed them (years ago), and I've never
had any real problems. Only rarely do I have to recompile, or
downgrade, but usually it's all handled by portage anyway.
Standard disclaimer applies: just because it works now, doesn't mean it
will work in the future; not for production / isolated servers, etc.
Note that from the comments before you modify ~arch:
"... '~arch' is a superset of 'arch' which includes the unstable, in
testing, packages ... 'Broken' packages will not be added to testing ...
IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR ARCH, OR THE IMPLICATIONS, DO NOT MODIFY
[ACCEPT_KEYWORDS]".
