I've done it here in Charlotte. No problems out of it yet, but it was just the secondary source. We had an issue recently on a project that was a few years old where we had to prove the velocity at the roof top pool with a supply calc for the lowest system. The health department accepted it and they re-opened the pool the next week. I would stress 2 inlets. The pool contractor said that the largest inlet had a gpm velocity limit of 1400 gpm? Maybe that was for both? As far as a vortex plate, when we tested the pool, a vortex didn't develop until we had less than 1' of water left, approx 40,000 gallons already pumped, while my demand was around 32,000 gallons. I still sleep well at night.
