This should be fine. This is a workflow that was intentionally designed into the system. The paste process can optionally invoke the last settings applied during import, where possible.
The only downside is that you have more intimate control over layers/keyframes, text to editable/vector/bitmap, creating movie clips during the import process, etc. If you don't need any of those features, you're good with copy and paste.
