No problem. The most immediate event in most situations is likely to be signature expiry (or the need to update the zone); so getting a signer running and using the correct keys should be your first priority. Getting an enforcer running can wait. Assuming that you are happy with the keys you are using the only thing you might break is your policy of how often to roll, and this does not stop validation.
