I think it's ok to use the up and down arrows to express agreement. Obviously the uparrows aren't only for applauding politeness, so it seems reasonable that the downarrows aren't only for booing rudeness.

Downvoting has always been used to express disagreement.

There's nothing wrong with using the arrows to express agreement or disagreement.
