An all stock portfolio like above can and will experience periodic large drawdowns. You need to be sure you can stand seeing your portfolio down 30-60% without freaking out and selling. Diamond hands...It's not for the faint of heart, but with broad market index funds, something truly catastrophic would have to happen for it to never come back.
If you want smaller drawdowns on average, you can diversify a little to a 3-fund portfolio that looks something like this:
70% US Total Stock Market Fund
20% US Aggregate Bond Fund
10% International Total Market Fund
Just make sure that you pick a short duration bond fund to limit your interest rate risk.
