You have no idea what state your disk is in.  If a rebuild is needed, it 
should be done.  Maybe others would not use the term dangerous, but to 
me, a disk that is not as it should be can be a problem.

It's like, you look both ways before crossing the street, right?  Why 
would you try to use a disk that wasn't "right"?
