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.
