Default Magma EB7 1st Generation PT-2018 HDX

I have started with one HDX card, but it is looking like I could make use of two HDX cards (moving from HD7) when mixing larger projects. I have my 1st generation Magma Expansion Chassis, and it is listed as compatible(can be seen under the Mac Pro 2012 in supported Apple Computers section). Sure I can get two HDX cards in the Mac Pro, but I would have to take out other PCIe cards I find useful (USB 3/eSata, Sonnet Tempo dual SSD).

Any known issues using the Magma Express Box 7 with the latest greatest Pro Tools and HDX? Basically, am I looking for trouble or?

System Outline:
==================
Mac Pro 2010 12 Core 2.93 GHz 48GB Sierra (10.12.6)

I have 3 HDX cards in a Magma EB7 with a Mac Pro (Mid 2012) 3,33 GHz 6-core Intel Xeon 'Westmere'. It works fine.
