As long as you don't want to run one of the (couple of) third-party apps that need i396 in Etch without also putting in an i386 chroot. Note, that many 32-bit apps will actually run in amd64 with the 32-bit libs package. I don't know about acroread since I don't use it. Iceweasel 32-bit with flashplayer needed a chroot. A chroot isn't much to set up or maintain.
