Default No. not ok.

The prop is balanced and although you do not feel anything you could be doing damage to your bearings or internal parts.
Be thankful you run an aluminum prop and not a stainless steel one.
I'd check around for a used repaired prop and send yours out, then you'll always have a spare.
On the last 3 boats I owned I've never not carried a spare prop.
Good luck.
