As long as you do not restore system state then it is ok to use SPB to do a restore between different ROM's. I even used SPB to restore contacts and texts when I went from my TP1 to my TP2 with no issues.
Also I see you telling people that restoring old texts is an issue, that is partially true. Restoring a large number of texts is a problem. Then again so is saving a large number of texts on your phone with 6.5. On 6.1 I used to have over 24,000 texts on the phone no problem (just from being lazy about deleting and it did not slow the phone down.) On 6.5 once I get over a few hundred it starts to cause major slowness going into and exiting the text message app. If nothing else it has gotten me used to deleting texts again. However I have also used SPB to restore a small number (200 or so) of texts many times and again had absolutely no issues.

I too have used SPB Backup to restore some items when flashing to a new rom. Never had a problem (that wasn't self-inflicted). Also used Rom Upgrade mode when going from a rom to an updated rom (same chef, same rom, just updated to fix a bug or something.) and set it to NOT overwrite existing files.
