It's reasonable to expect that the RNG will work fine. You entrust cryptography to cryptography experts. It's an abstraction that usually works well, and if you mess with it even for bening purposes, you may end up breaking it.

See what happened to OpenSSH in Debian a few years ago for an example on why usually writing your own crypto or even messing with existing crypto code is a bad idea.
