Yes. I tried this:

$ echo {}

on bash, ash, mksh, zsh and csh.  I have never seen anyone escaping
`{}'.  It's not the same as `(' and `)'.  I know that `man find' says
that it might be necessary to quote `{}' but I have never come across
a shell where it's necessary.

I don't know what was your purpose but I think it's just worth
mentioning.  In the long run egrep may be no longer available on some
systems.  It's just a note, not a correction of your answer.
