I'm gonna answer this question at 1am while I'm full of alcohol. Absolutely nothing can go wrong with this plan.

0% wrong can happen.

IN GENERAL I look forward to her getting a few more of her ruthless memories. Sakura definitely cries a lot in canon, because she is just like oh no I am full of so much Caring and such and she definitely panic-and-shame-cried a lot when she first showed up to aather -- and while she's moved on from there, she remembers that and even just the memory makes her a bit more wobbly? But I'm glad she got back her give-no-fucks memory from Sasori taunting her, because it shows her that, well... she isn't easily baited. And so I want more of those memories for her, where she can be less... emotionally jumpy? Less reactive? something like that. Where all the Suddenly: Bad! of Aather has less of a chance of emotionally see-sawing her back and forth.

Sasuke is complicated! Like, I locked all of her significant Sasuke memories initially because I really wanted a chance for her to develop on her own without shaping herself entirely around Sasuke (or Naruto, to a lesser degree), and she both has and has not, in interesting ways that I did not really expect! But, given that, I sort of feel like I should just be like...w/e character development do what you want I wash my hands of you.

By which I mean unlock everything and prioritize nothing and just see what happens.

Like playing Russian Roulette with her memories.

I think I would prefer she get her beginning-of-Shippuden memories first, because those would at least give her a basis for continuing to seek Sasuke out, when she gets her other memories later.
