Is it a bad idea to keep the home partition

I just did a fresh install of Maui Linux. During the install I was given the option to keep my /home partition. Wanting to keep the partition for my home partition I clicked the box It turns out Maui did a really nice job of backing up all my dot files and saved all my other files in the partition.

My question is: Is this going to cause configuration issues down the road? I like Maui and want to give it every chance to shine and impress me, I don't want to do anything that might cause issues. In which case I would abandon Maui. So I have concerns that if I keep my home partition, I could end up with a mix of Maui and my old OS (SolydK)

So are there any issues with keeping the /home partition. I ask because I did this once before when I switched from Mepis to SolydK. (Both Debian Stable based) However, during that change over, when I saved the home partition, I ended up with Mepis configuration files messing up my fresh install. So I have concerns about saving the home partition.

So please let me know if I am safe to keep my /home partition. If this is a safe way to change to Maui it makes updates and things very easy.
