Does 30 or 60 fps with 1/50 or 1/100 shutter speed with 50 Hz lighting makes sense ?

Hi guys,
I'm a using PAL GX80 (GX85) and G6 in service mode in order to use more FPS for slow motion recording but one thing isn't clear at all for me. Is there any problem, like stuttering, by using these in 30 or 60 fps mode with a 1/50 or 1/100 shutter speed for syncing with artificial EU lighting (50 Hertz).
I assume people commonly use 25/50 fps with 50 Hz with artificial european lighting normally but am I suppose to see some artefacts by preferring 30 or 60 fps ? Also I prefer 30 or 60 fps because modern LCD monitors and TV are all synchronized at 60 Hz, even in europe.
Thanks for your insights.
 
Side note: Keep in mind that you need to use a shutter speed of at least 1/30 for 30p or 1/60 for 60p if you're using the footage for slow-motion because if you use 1/25 or 1/50 (which should be impossible with most cameras but not with stills cameras), you'll have choppy motion. I don't remember what it's called but I believe it's some kind of frame interpolation.
