I've used it for years and never noticed a single problem. Mutt seems to be the only program that anyone ever mentions with an issue (it apparently uses the last access time to determine if a folder has received new mail since you last looked at it). Since I'm not a mutt user, I've no idea if anyone has bothered to fix this. IMO a file's last access time is inherently unreliable anyway, a file could have been read by a backup process or file indexer at any time. Your file browser might well peek at every file in a folder to make thumbnails or determine file types. You likely won't see any problems with Samba or with office documents, these all work fine with filesystems that don't have last access times at all (and Windows disabled last access times in Vista onwards, apparently)
