AFAIK, that gives no unexpected problems for integers up to and
including signed 2^53.

But, when I last tested a while ago, some browsers do unreasonable
things when converting non-integer values to strings in unpopular bases.

I have seen strings with about a thousand places after the non-decimal
point.  And one browser handled a remainder of half or more in terms of
the least significant digit by incrementing the character representing
this digit.  That of course worked very well except when the least
significant digit had represented the value (base-1).  I believe that
has been corrected now.
