My experience (FWIW) is that a little care is required here. Although
rc.local executes last, "last" means that all the commands in the
previous scripts have been *initiated*.  Whether they have been
*completed* or not, is dependent on the specific command. For example,
when rc.local starts executing, there may be daemons in the process
of initializing themselves, but not completely up and running yet.

Just something to thing about.
