A 5380 will do fine.  The only chips that might have problems would
be chips that try to operate at a higher level and have some sort
of knowledge of the message protocol.  It is conceivable that such
a chip could not be able to send some of the new SCSI-2 messages,
such as the various queue tag messages.

I don't think any of the NCR chips suffer from this.  The ones we've
used here at work (5380, 5390, 5394, 53400, 53700, and 53710) all should
be OK.
