99% of the time there is no problem with it. One potential problem is that CB panels are always hard to reach in flight, and if you pull 2C9 instead of 2C8 accidentally, that may be a problem. The lav circuit breaker may be next to the "wings fall off" breaker...you never know.
I know that I personally do not have enough in-depth knowledge of the airplane circuitry to know if pulling one (seemingly innocuous) breaker is going to cause a larger problem. On the ground I have no problem with pulling a breaker or two, especially if it solves a "known problem." In flight, I get a little nervous when captains start pulling things.
