Is 2000ft QNH too low for an initial step climb SID level

Hi,

From a flight deck ops point of view, is 2000ft QNH too low for an initial level in a step climb SID? Typical aircraft types using it would be A320, B737.

Airfield elevation is about 270ft. 2000ft QNH would be terrain safe and level flight at 2000ft would only be for about 3 miles before a further climb to 3000ft.

I am aware that this is low for a SID level but is it workable?

Thanks for any replies,
