Spill way location middle of dam?

Currently Building a pond- going to put a spillway in to handle water overflow- it’s not an emergency spill way. I will have no Pipe in the dam.
The question I have is - is it a horrible idea to put the riprap spillway at the middle of the dam? It’s tallest section?
I see most spillways are on one side of the pond.
The reason for wanting to put the spill way in center is for looks - nothing more
Thanks

The other option is a siphon drain, you can put that through the dam at a much higher level than a typical overflow pipe and the great thing about them is that you can suck water out from the bottom of the pond instead of surface water.
