You are free to do it but the user journey from teams to get files in file explorer isnt the best. Bear in mind that Teams has file storage via SharePoint so unless you completely turn this off you may find users start to store files in Teams.
Might be worth looking if you can create links from Teams to your file shares. See what happens when someone shares a link to a file on a file server via teams.
Overall advice is it's not a recommend scenario but if their are business reasons that are stopping you migrating to the cloud write out some user journeys and test then out with your users.
