This uses the European Computer Modern fonts, which normally we have only used when necessary. Hence, this would have a chance (probably small) of breaking for a document with a degree sign on a system where these fonts aren't available. Since there appears to be an acceptable alternative using \circ, I think it is better to keep on using \circ.
