Using a 10VAC @ 5VA Transformer

troubleshooting
Last year I installed a Video Doorbell 3, wiring it to my existing 10VAC @ 5VA transformer. Although 5VA doesn't quite meet the 8VA minimum spec, everything worked fine, and has for the past two years.
Today, I installed a Video Doorbell Wired, powered by the same transformer. I was much less confident that it would work properly, as this product requires a minimum 10VA and is entirely reliant on the transformer as its power source, but it, too, works perfectly!
My question is this: Since everything is working fine, am I all set? Is there any concern or danger running these devices off a 10VAC @ 5VA transformer?
Thanks!

- AHi Justin, thanks for your reply. I'll be honest--if there's no safety risk, my inclination would be to let it run on the current transformer, as it seems to be operating perfectly, plus this way I don't have to worry about delivering too much power to the current chime that's in the circuit. That said, and unless there's something else I'm missing, is there a safety concern with the current configuration? Thanks again!•
