I am sure it will be fine, look at all the sign written vans and lorries driving up and down the country with all the vinyl firmly attached....
I think you missed my point. The edges of the vinyl are actually overhanging the carbon edges slightly in places - not something you see on vans/lorries - so will likely peel back very easily and allow dust to collect on the exposed sticky side, which is definitely not a good look. I'm not saying it's going to fall off, but it is going to look a bit tatty. I just don't think it looks very neat, but as said it's not going to make any difference in the air. I think it would look much better and hold up better with a neat 0.5 mm carbon border all round. Actually come to think of it, I've actually got an example of a pre-cut sticker on my tail fin, which has held up very well (200 flights):-

my goblin has stickers right to the edge on the tail, as long as its cut tight with a razor etc then it will look good!
The border is entirely personal preference. Overhanging stickers however just look bad. As you say if you are going right to the edge it needs to be perfectly cut and that's where the OP had not done a great job, especially at the corners which are the most critical part for peeling.
