It should work fine, and there have been no announced plans to deprecate the direct loading model for either the Maps API or the extended family of AJAX APIs (e.g., Search, Feeds, Libraries, etc.). In fact, when loading Maps, the only thing the loader does for you is signal the backend to provide you with the standardized google.* namespace, and even then, the Maps API still gives you the old, too.
If you search this group (and the Maps API group, for that matter), you can find a utility function that I wrote that will search the DOM for both the G* and google.* namespaces and find what you're looking for, regardless of whether the loader was used or not. With the AJAX APIs, as Vadim points out in that thread, it's not particularly important because the google.* is guaranteed to be there however you load it, but with the Maps API, looking toward the day when Google does get sick of maintaining both namespaces, it might be something to look into.
