Just in case I would also check the spoilers movement, and check the engines are getting up to toga thrust should I need it, and also check the flaps travel down to 3 if I need to come back quickly and also I would close manually the outflow vale and pressurise the plane to check it does pressurise. Anyway short answer to the above : no, it's not, as performance data is there for you to consider a no reverse situation up to a contaminated runway.
