afaik no, Oracle clusterware is in another world.  If  you  plan to use
ocfs2 to share filesystems  this will not disturb clusterware ( well, more
traffic in the interconnect, as natural )

Even in the case of need to use ocfs2 to give concurrency to an installed
clusterware RAC, you will have downtime while reallocating crs/ocr
destinations but can be done safely without reinstall. FYI: Is what you must
do in case of clusterware 10gR2 on RHEL 5 and EMC Powerpath 5.1 storage
