Plants grow into the food that is available: when I make a compost pile I often have tree roots growing upwards to take advantage of the nourishment. It isn't generally a problem: it is natural!

Now, if ALL of your roots are growing into loose compost I would worry about high winds knocking the banana over. That is the only potential problem that I see.
