At busy airfields with several intersections ATC will frequently offer an intersection take-off to expedite traffic. Hundreds of flights each day take-off from such intersections without any problems. Keep in mind at that at a large airfield the length of runway remaining from such intersections is probably more than the full length of that at the aircraft's destination..
