No. The CSS box-shadow property has better browser support than filter. Take a look at both http://caniuse.com/#search=box-shadow and http://caniuse.com/#search=filter.

I recommend using box-shadow instead of drop-shadow().

I don't think support a problem. All major browsers have good support for filters, only IE and older android browser are a problem. Which, I think can be ignored as their market share is insignificant.
If browser support is not an issue for you, then I guess it would be okay to use drop-shadow() as well :)
