Is C-Style casting to TObjectPtr unsafe?

Hi guys I hope you are doing fine.
Today I migrated my project from UE5.4 to UE5.5 but I couldn’t compile my project. The error was complaining about not using “TObjectPtr” so instead of enabling the usage of Raw pointers in the config file, I decided to upgrade my pointers to TObjectPtr.

My problem is that GetMesh() function in Character returns a raw pointer and I wrote a function that returns GetMesh() so I decided to cast the raw pointer to TObjectPtr like this:

TObjectPtr <USkeletalMeshComponent> ALyraCharacter::GetSpecifcPawnMesh(bool WantFirstPerson) const{
  return WantFirstPerson == true ? Mesh1P : TObjectPtr <USkeletalMeshComponent>(GetMesh());
}

I compiled the project (using UE5.4 and not UE5.5) and everything seems fine. But I am unsure of the method that I used. Any suggestions?
