Yes, you are probably right. It might cause some string breaking issues but I don't see why tuning issues would occur? You could lower the bridge just a tad until the strings are barely off the bridge. If you get string buzzing at that point you may need a bit more relief in the truss rod. None of this should mess up your intonation.
