Should be OK, lots of users do that. The only risk is that there’s some latency that might cause a lock file to either not be present shortly after opening the file on the “other” computer or to be still present after closing it. There’s also no locking at all on the “prefs” folder so if you edit a custom report config on both systems the last one saved will be the one you get.
