how thin is too thin?

I'm designing a gear to go on the Chiaphua shaft. Specifically, it is a 17 tooth 32 pitch with a length through bore of maybe .75" or so. It will have a standard 2mm keyway in it.

This size of gear, with the .315" bore to go on the Chia and then the 2mm keyway leaves only about .028" between the top of the keyway and the bottom of the "valley" between teeth. Is this too thin?
