Since SI doesn't have the spacebar menu Maya has, the Maya keymap isn't very functional but I don't think you need to change to SI keymap. Using Maya as a base and customizing it as you get used to SI and learn new commands shouldn't give you any problems or disadvantages against a natural SI user.
I have to use Maya a lot and my brain can't switch fast enough between using ALT and S +mouse clicks differences for navigation, so to avoid that delay and inevitable mistakes, I use a customized Maya based keymap mixed with my favorite SI keys, I did the same with Maya and also use Max with Maya navigation.
