Unless its widely acceptable at least through EU, it won't work. The value expiration is also a concern, somehow something messes up and you loose the amount.

I'm not a Taler fan, but it's my understanding there's a pretty generous gap there. Like, if it expires in a year, your client will start trying to renew it at 6 months, so things would have to be pretty messed up for you to not be able to renew for a full half a year. That's more like the system is just fully gone, at that point.

It's not like the expiration is at 10:05 this morning and your client tried at 10:04, got an error and now you're ruined.

EDIT: I looked it up rather than pulling numbers out of my bum, and the FAQ says the current wallet renews things a month early. So not as far ahead as I said, but still within the spirit of what I said. What I don't currently know is if there's a server-side limit, or if an individual client can be configured to request even more in advance.
