Yes, absolutely. That's part of the technical risk that you take if you decide to do such things. If it's a "good" choice or not is entirely situational. Some organizations are fine with kicking that tech debt down the road, others like to double down and create a house of cards.

I worked at a place 20 odd years ago that had an odd numbering scheme internally, and it was someone else's public space. When I asked why, the guy who built it said "Well I just liked the pattern." If you're not announcing someone else's space into the DFZ, or otherwise trying to do anything shady, the three letter agencies aren't likely to come knocking. Doesn't mean anyone SHOULD be doing it, butstill. Well... If you're using 20.20.20.0/24 which is not "yours" (as I've seen happen), then certainly your customers can't get to the real 20.20.20.x And even if that's not announced and used /today/ - this can change quickly...
