Using -araeg- attempts to model cluster effects by a constant offset for
each group. There may be further correlation within clusters even after a
mean level adjustment. If so, using the cluster option would still be
appropriate.

It's not a problem, and is in fact a recommendation originally 
offered by Arellano (1987).  Wooldridge's 2002 book discusses it (I 
don't have it handy or I would look up the page ref).

You do need to be sure that you have enough clusters for the 
asymptotics to be plausible, but this is a general issue with cluster-
robust and not specific to fixed effects models.

Hope this helps.
