I did that and it bit back when it prevented Transmit from connecting to my servers, with only a generic "Unable to connect" message popping up. This was fixed fairly recently[0], but it's a reminder that using a restricted set of ciphers may not only prevent illegitimate connections from going through. I can confirm from the same experience, however, that it prevents most hacking attempts from ever going to the authentication stage.
