That's a common method of cleaning boards. I've done it many times. How
do you think they're cleaned commercially, when they're made? The only
thing to watch for are paper labels (part numbers or QC stickers) stuck on
the chips or PCB.

So long as you remove all the water (and anything dissolved in it) before
applying power, what's the problem?
