It's never really a problem - I've used them like this in PLL circuits for years without problem. There's actually a quicker (and dirtier) solution, using a resistor from the reset pin to Vcc, and diodes between the output pins and the reset. When the counter reaches the programmed count, it resets, and starts again. You can take a (fairly) sqarewave output from the highest selected output pin....
