No, you really don't need to worry, as long as the output looks decent.

I would _strongly_ recomend using vqscale= instead of vbitrate=.  Using
vbitrate on single-pass encoding, you'll have terrible artifacts after
complex scenes.

The default keyint (250) is also quite high, lower values should
speed-up encoding, with a fairly small increase in bitrate.
