It can be dangerous in a lot of ways.

Is JitterEntropy actually a CSPRNG or just a PRNG?

Is it fork-safe?

Is VeraCrypt's implementation secure?

Sorry, I mixed up the comment thread in which I was responding. I thought you were replying to the comment mentioning Linux adding a jitter entropy source during early boot in an effort to mitigate the lack of other entropy at that stage.
