It was good enough for Eddy and it works for me.
I bet this really depends on the type of tape that is used. I use the semi-foam comfort stuff, which has edges that taper out fairly thin. In my experience, this type of tape usually has issues when wrapped that way, regardless of how tight it is wrapped.

YMMV.
