legacy only means that ZFS won't mount/umount these file systems and
you should manage them manually or via /etc/vfstab. Nothing else.

There's one drawback when using legacy mountpoints - when you move a
pool of disks to different server then you also have to copy proper
vfstab entries - but it's not a problem in your case. Other than that
lagacy mountpoint do not impose any restrictions, etc.
