Fear not. If you use a radiussed fingerboard, you will not be excommunicated from the world of classical guitar. However, classical guitars have traditionally had flat fingerboards. A radiussed fingerboard is more likely to be found on an electric or other steel string guitar. Some classical luthiers have experimented with radiussed fingerboards, but the idea does not seem to have been especially well received by classical guitarists. However, if you're accustomed to playing on one, you might well find a luthier who will build you a guitar that way. Be prepared to pay more. I say if you're more comfortable playing on one, I see no reason not to.
