Just make sure the safety case requires the appropriate training and you should be good to go.
I work this airspace currently, and yes having the 5100' MSA in class C isn't an issue, but it's not an issue for a number of reasons (mostly because aircraft are visual and OCTA before they need to re-enter class C, and if not they are tracking direct to Amberley so we can use the MSA).
This is more like the airspace around Proserpine, which is much more fiddly.
