I think that for this, it would nice to give a solid and common reference point, but if it works, it works, I don't think you're hurting anything. However, my recommendation would be to follow the datasheet and add the capacitors, if and when you're able.

It works, but is it bad? I don’t connect the 2 pins (osc1 and osc2) to ground, using the crystal only. It works, but is it bad?
