No problem. Think of it this way - with rigid joints you at least have something resisting torque loading, vs. nothing with pinned joints.
Obviously it's not ideal; in an ideal situation you would only have pure tension/compression loadings in your structure. This is only possible when you start adding tubes which criss-cross the car, a.k.a. the roll cage.
