There were some compatibility problems with the early SBF, so as long as your not using stuff from the 80s, you should be OK. We had gallons and gallons kicking around in the military, and most was still from the early batches and should have been disposed of.
The only problem you may run into (I see your from Manitoba as well) is that the silicone brake fluid won't absorb any water into it (unlike dot3 which will absorb something like 7% water) and as such, the water can collect at a low spot in a line and freeze up in our climate. I guess the real solution to that problem is to be careful about getting water into the brake system; perhaps a bit of a modification to the master cylinder vent cap.
