It's really not a big deal at all, even with MT. We've had this combination for decades. The tricky time was in the transition period, when we still had more vehicles with the indicator on the R/H side of the wheel. I remember at one time owning and driving one of each, both MT. Much better when we had virtually all vehicles with the indicator on the L/H side of the wheel.
In fact some in the UK, would argue that it is safer, as you keep one hand firmly on the wheel, while the shifter hand can do both functions. There is some merit in that viewpoint, and one I tend to agree with.
