It's about time. ;-)  There really shouldn't be any problem in doing this,
many other lists have been doing this for a few years now, without issue.

Might I suggest that you also wrap messages with a p=none policy.  Per the
spec, p=none is for testing, but  that doesn't mean "do nothing".  Wrap the
p=none messages so that those senders too will see how DMARC impacts them.
