playing ascending quavers (1/8th notes)

Hi I'm trying to self-convert from three finger up-picking to claw hammer and I'm not too sure about playing some ascending phrases.

One that cropped-up today was while picking through a tune that had the following phrase (G tuning and all 1/8th notes in 4/4 time):

G(3rd string) B(2nd) D(1st) G(5th).

I've been playing the first three notes as a kind of slowed-down roll with my picking finger. I know I could hammer-on the 3rd string for the B but it seems clumsy

Is the follow through going to cause problems later down the learning track?
