I don't think it will have any problem with cooling your wort.
I have a dairy and I use a plate cooler to pre-cool milk from cows body temperature before going into the bulk tank to finish the cooling, it is doing the job it was designed for and that is nothing to do with pasteurization.

Interesting, they are also used for pasteurisation though, well that's how we used to do it, it's been a few years though since my Dad had a dairy.
