I think you should be okay.  Polygons are sliced by the "dicer" which
cuts them vertically through each hole until the results are outlines
with no inner cutouts.  The gerber export uses that dicer, so any
gerber with a polygon already contains copper areas that exactly touch
but don't overlap.  You can see it if you look at a gerber with a plane
with holes (eg from pins) in 'outline' mode.
