Sure, but that clearly doesnt affect germination of seedling
trays, so shouldnt matter with the soil either as long as its
only used until the seed germinate and not after that.

Not at this time of year though as it's way too hot. Hessian is better at
this time of year because it protects the soil and keeps it moist but
without causing heat build up.
