The first chunk should be fine (even if the MSDOS compat table is
there, we'll see it as GPT). The second one, yes, having this will
break installing on Intel Macs booting via the BIOS emulation vs going
through EFI. And given some of the oddities of their EFI
implementation, there are some advantages of not booting from it
directly
