Any reason to NOT do this? You might have an interesting time if you ever tried to run the cephfs disaster recovery tools against that pool, as they would not know to ignore your non-cephfs objects[1]. You would also have a problem if any of your non-cephfs applications tried to do anything involving snapshots on the pool that cephfs was using. I would advise you to not do this -- the general assumption is that cephfs owns its data pools, it is not designed or tested to share politely.
