Virtually no risk. The only matter of concern would be if the vdevs have substantially different I/O performance and latencies since ZFS's load share mechanism will put more data on the vdev which is more responsive when the vdevs are under heavy write load. However, if the faster vdev is built with drives of newer design and with higher capacity, this behavior may be a good thing.
