There is no problem with this wallet ?

No, but the history shows until now that you may not understand safety.
This means that if you use just Electrum and you're not cautious, you'll lose your coins just as easy as you did with Bitaddress.

Hence I recommend you seriously consider buying a hardware wallet. It can be a cheap one for Bitcoin only, hence under 100 EUR.
Just be careful, since even with a hardware wallet you can lose your coins. You'll have to:
1. Keep your seed always safe and offline.
2. Always use a wallet downloaded from the official site and also verified (I use verified Electrum with HW) to avoid surprises.
