I had a similar setup for a while that worked fine.  As I understand it,
we're both just lucky. :-)

The problem is that, with devices on three connectors, the bus is no longer
linear, and you can get reflections that can cause errors and reduce
performance.  If it works just fine, you might as well stick with it, but
be aware that adding an additional device may push things far enough that
suddenly everything will stop working.
