I don't see an issue with it. There's no good way for Steam to know where the key came from, you could have been gifted the key, got it in a bundle, or stolen it from somewhere. Since they can't tell, they don't know if your review is compromised.

When I'm reading reviews, I don't personally care about that, I just care what the review says, and I'll read 5-10 before making a decision if it's a more expensive or longer game. A lot of reviews are pointless (e.g. "nobody will read this, so I'm gay" or whatever), so I very much appreciate helpful reviews regardless of the source.
