You will never notice a problem. But, is that the best way to do it for recovery purposes?

I do am cardio still, but none post workout on my leg days. Sometimes I will even skip am cardio the next day, depends on how sore I am when I wake up.

I usually choose something which isn't as brutal on the legs for cardio. I wouldn't do legs then jump on the bike and put it up to max resistance which I would agree with you is disrupting the recovery process. I usually go for something like crosstrainer or brisk walk at moderate intensity.
