Short shift 1-2, then accelerate? 700 1991

Before I get too far into this habit, are there any long term ill-effects of short shifting 1-2 at around 2k-2500, and doing more of the accelerating in 2nd?

This is the M46 with the big ratio drop between first and second. The issue is the time it takes for the revs to drop off and match into second.

Thanks.
