Go for it!
Many people will accept whatever you want to play and rationalise it in their own way. Good RP trumps lore correctness I would say.
I would make the WhiteMage something you are, rather than just play "I am a Whitemage". That way people can relate to you rather than the job/class. So aside from the Whitemage bits, what is your story, what do you love and hate, what are the good things in your past and what are the bad. What is it you are seeking now.. have a goal other than being a  whitemage.
Those that say you ruin their immersion should probably avoid open MMOs, we all have control of what we take from the RP and how we rationalise it. I'll say again, I value good RP interaction and story over lore strictness.
Have fun.
