It’s not even “okay” for kids past a certain age because it causes deformed teeth development. Or are you asking if people will look at you weird? Thats also a yes.
Two it starts, with three it can become an issue, with four it might affect the underlying permanent teeth - and there is no difference between thumb or pacifier.

At what age does it start deforming teeth?
Rule of thumb I learned and never validated:

Everywhere I go I see his face…
think less “at what age” and more “after how much thumb sucking”.
