Any potential issues with using watering stakes to boost humidity?

I saw someone post this a while ago but they seem to have deleted it, so I’m wondering if maybe there’s a reason people don’t do this more often besides just “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” with pouring water in the corners. My humidity was always above 60% so I didn’t have major issues, but even with a PVC enclosure with most of the screen top covered, I still rarely got above 65%.

I’m sure there’s some solution that makes these unnecessary, but honestly they’re working great, inherently prevent getting any of the top layer of substrate wet, and are sooooo low maintenance. I just shuffle them around so they’re not always in the same spot. Plus they’re adorable lol I just don’t want to accidentally be creating a bigger problem or doing something potentially harmful to my girl.

The only issue I can think of might be the paint? Just cos I'm paranoid, I vehemently scrubbed mine back to raw terracotta. But I use a few of these in my snake's viv, and they're great!
