Pitfalls of just throwing a switch at it?

SysAdmin trying to further my networking knowledge. I've got an office that I need to add a workstation to, the 2 current workstations and the MFP are all wired directly to the server room. It's about 300 ft of multiple floors & twists & turns, I really don't want to run another cable just for a new workstation. Is there a huge con to me just throwing a Smart Switch in the room and having all the devices go to that? If I reproduce this type of setup throughout the labyrinthine building, will it bite me in the ass? Is there a best practice where this is fine for a room that has 4 or more devices, but not less?
