If you aren't worried about this type of scenario, then I don't see a problem with it. If possible, always use two different types of locks. Even if you just leave two locked up to the rack, it is better than just one.
Sounds to me like, unless there's something that's particularly unique about your bike, that this is a largely theoretical concern. It's not exactly a giant shock that you would use a U Lock to lock your bike, right? :-)
