Default Sprocket with shoulder only on one side?

Looking at a rear sprocket for my Breakout that only has a shoulder to keep the belt in place on the outboard side. Seems like most bikes from the last 10 years or so have shoulders on both sides. Is this going to cause any problems? I know the bike is set up to normally push the belt toward the outside when going forward, and that it goes toward the inside of the pulley when you push the bike backwards, but that's not very often. Should this be something I should be concerned about, or no?
