Location for Bur Oak

I’ve been gifted a Bur oak sapling. I’m happy to have it, but my property already has a lot of established trees, mostly 100+ year old post oaks (DFW).

This is about the only sunny spot. Do y’all think this would work or will I regret it?

I know these things can get to be monsters, but I’m guessing that’ll be long after it’s ceased to be my concern. And I know it won’t get to full potential in this spot, or any spot I’ve got. I’m a little worried it might compete with my post oaks and sweet g (to their detriment). And I’m aware the acorns can be a problem, and this corner street is at the foot of a significant hill, which I mention because it’s already pretty treacherous in icing events.
