No. Anytime there's a change in the gear, one should either use a backup, or significant ground training, or both until fluent. In skydiving, has "overcautious" ever been or ever need to be a subject of discussion. If anyone ever think that you or another is being a "knob-end" about safety; tell them to get back with you after reviewing the Incidents or Blue Skies forum.
