RPM scaling the right place to set gear ratio compensation?

Iv been reading about how to setup RPM sensor from the ESC to get that as telemetry. All the instructions that I have found talk about setting the RPM1 or RPM2 scaling to get accurate motor RPM. Is there any problem using this to account for gear ratio so the RPM reading is accurate for the head speed and not motor speed? I have seen references to others using it like this but was not sure where all this setting is used so don’t what the impact will be. Seems like even if using the FC for GOV it would not matter but wanted to check.

Thanks,
