I would say is fine. I found this type of graphics in many different publications

If you do want more control over the graphics, you could use fastqp, which implements much of what FastQC performs, but produces different graphics and a tidy text output for custom plotting.

If you think you might want higher quality images, you could load the FastQC data into R and plot them?
