Depends on the thickness and length of the cables you use, if they drop too much voltage the Pi5 is not going to be happy..
Using an 18A power supply without fusing appropriate to the cables is dangerous.
If you plan to run other high current devices of the same supply there may be problems from surge currents.
It is best to configure the Pi5 to assume a 5A power supply if you have 5A available, this can be done in a number of ways.
