consumers can receive timestamp channels which would be effected by this.
However any given device can only feed one such channel to all consumers so
I think your current approach is fine for now (may need to revisit this at
some future date once we get better front end / back end separation for IIO 
done - as then in theory you might not have a sysfs directory for the IIO
device at all - long way off!)
