In terms of operation and safety, there's no problem, the brake opens and closes with the lever as it should, and braking power is fine. The rubbing is light and probably doesn't even slow the bike down that much, but the constant scraping sound is annoying.

(Certainly it doesn't slow the bike down nearly as much as that one time on a different bike with cantilever brakes I discovered one arm's spring had come detached, so the other arm's spring was pulling it against the rim -- THAT slowed me down for sure)
