Default Top wood knots in King Billy Pine

A question for the builders. I'm having a bouzouki built in Australia and I want to use King Billy Pine for the top wood. Clean sets are very difficult to come by these days and this one was just shown to me. Aesthetically, the knots do not bother me but I'm wondering from a structural and tonal standpoint, would those small knots create issues?
