Why would it be unsafe? The Ubuntu kernel config from /proc/config.gz
is a config optimised for desktop systems of your architecture by a
bunch of clever guys working for Canonical.
Whilst it may be possible to optimise the kernel very specifically for
your hardware, I think you would notice more shortcomings of that than
benefits, and it just seems a lengthy waste of time.
