No real pitfalls within Oracle itself, but understand that as demand for your application grows you may have a problem with Solaris itself. Solaris 2.X has a socket connection limit of somewhere within the 1200-1400 range. As long as you stay under this limit, you should be fine.

We run a similar server setup to you, and found out about this limit the hard way. :)
