I don't believe there is anything wrong with reversing the motor wiring to compensate for the left/right motor reversal problem. However we wire all of our motors the same way but in LabView we can open the motors with a parameter that tells the RoboRIO to reverse the meaning of the input values to the motors.
I suspect the call to the tank drive method or the open constructor would include similar parameters to invert the motor outputs.
