It’s not an either-or thing.
If the flange diameter of the hub you’re using allows the shanks of the spokes to clear the heads of the other spokes, it’s perfectly fine. Just like any other build. A non-issue.
If the shanks of the spokes rest over the heads of the other spokes, it’s generally not a problem while JRA.
Build can quickly get awkward if you get the order of spoke insertion wrong since half the holes are blocked.
If it happens, some worry about where the outer spoke bends over the spoke head.
Replacing a broken spoke will take a bit more work.
