The concern should be that if one or indeed both fail, ie motors, batteries, power supply, whatever, on push back and the A/C is already moving backward, how will you stop the aero? Use the main gear brakes and you will lift the nose off the deck and possibly sit in on its tail. Now that will cost ya.
