As long as it works the first time and everyone on the team is fine installing a local Redis - there is very little problem. If the code doesn't make assumptions about read-after-write consistency for jobs. There will be "problems" (or - rather - things you will find out you haven't accounted for) when, for example, an improper URL is used and your Redis fails over. Or you do not have a replica configured (someone decided to "let's save some budget of team XYZ and is this really necessary it is transient after all"). Or you started using something that saturates your Redis. Or that you haven't configured alerting on Redis metrics... It's all normal stuff, by a long shot not the end of the world, but it is stuff that you need to do, and it is more stuff, and it can bite you if you come unprepared and "just clicked a few instances into existence last year".
