hyper-v-server-2008-r2

I've read a few similar questions but wasn't clear. I have a small office (13) users and recently purchased a new single server (this is all I have to work with for now).

Server specs

Memory - 16GB

Drives - 6 SCSI (2TB)

PROCESSOR - DUAL QUAD

I plan on making the Hyper-V host the DC and then 2 VMs, one for a file server and the other an application server.

Question - since I am restricted to this single server, would it be a big issue making the Hyper-V host the domain controller?

Your input greatly appreciated.
