Would Apache accept example.local or example.localdomain with the
appropriate hosts change? This Q&A seems to indicate it is allowed.[1]
It also seems like it does not run afoul of Apache's ServerName
docs.[2]
My big concern is using a real domain name, like neverused.org. I
don't believe IANA has reserved it. I know example.com is reserved.[3]
The worst case for example.com is, something breaks locally on his
machine.
