It's fine. I think any seatpost from a major name-brand mfr (Ritchey, Thompson, Zipp, Enve, etc) should be fine. As someone earlier mentioned, the main thing is that it has a mounting and adjustment system that you like.

I will note that, while I am not heavy, I do stay away from ultralight items. So my Zipp post (I forget the model) was just their standard cf seatpost back when I built this bike in 2019. (It's probably called Service Course or something like that?)

PS: edited because I just saw your post immediately above. For starters, those cheap Chinese cf seat posts are NOT made in the "same place" as items from Zipp (made in Indiana) and Enve (Salt Lake City); and even if they were made in the same factories, they would have different designs, different QC, different tolerances, etc. My advice: don't cheap out on a no-name, no-reputation item, especially if it's failure could be catastrophic. If you can't afford a first-rate cf seat post, it's better to go with a first-rate alloy model instead.
