No problems with that. Clipless pedals are always a good choice on MBB-recumbents. The two forces that counteract negative trail are the front-wheel propulsion (no matter if pushing or pulling the pedals) and gravity.
I use to ride normal pedals for cruising and relaxing, but prefer clipless if more performance is needed.

My understanding is that the pedal force is required to keep the python stable (counteracting negative trail). Under this assumption, every time you pull your legs you will have a very unstable bike. I think the python need some pedal force all the time. med vennlig hilsen Matthias
