The SMART probing is not inherently tied to SSDs. It just seems that many of today's SSDs use a kind of controller which acts up when its asked for SMART status. So, nobody can guarantee that this problem does not affect normal HDDs as well, but it seems we haven't heard about those yet. If you re-enable the SMART probing and it works for you (easy to notice if your startup speed suddenly increases by 30 seconds or so), then it's safe, yes.
