Thousands of performers tune down. Though I've played and performed on stringed instruments for almost 50 years, I've never tuned down. I don't like not being in tune and I don't like lower string tension. I spent time as a youngster learning to play in every key. Since really getting into bluegrass I'm also now ok with using a capo.
Any audience you have is likely not going to care as long as it doesn't sound bad.
