The -print0 command is typically used when find is passing filenames with spaces or other characters that require a shell escape.
If the filenames are all shell-safe, then -print0 is unnecessary. If there's a chance that even one name contains a space, however, then -print0 is your friend.
And, as a reminder for the OP, if none of the file names are being seen by the shell, as is the case for this problem, there is no concern at all.
