I think we are safe.

At 400kHz (the max speed of this part) each bit can be transferred no
faster than 2.5us. In order to do a valid i2c transaction we need to
_at least_ write the address of the device and the data onto the bus,
which is 16 bits. 16 * 2.5us = 40us. That's above the 31.25us

Personally I think what Chris has is fine, with the comment.
