Yes, that should be fairly safe to run. The only risk is if you have
some application running which has files open on it; but umount should
give you an error in that case.

Also, you can/should remove that fstab entry entirely once you have
remounted it; both openrc and systemd will automatically mount
/dev/shm with proper permissions if it is missing from fstab.
