Suppose I have a compute shader with a really sparse SSBO array that is ostensibly a tree structure that fills itself up (fixed depth, fixed size). Is it fine to just no-op any indexes that haven't been populated yet?

Edit: Found better leverage of my acceleration structure to still do everything parallel but get 90% of the benefit. Still posing the question whether a single if-then-no-op is potentially slow just because it needs to split the execution weirdly or something.
