Honestly I think life it too short to worry about what other people think. If you think you & this woman have a shot at happiness, absolutely go for it. These people with their absolutes are hilarious, that it's never okay to date a friends ex. That's ridiculous. Think about dating in the modern world for a 30-40 year old. Tinder? PoF? It's far easier to date and develop meaningful relationships within your social circle. I have a few friends who have done this and everyone is an adult about it. My sister-in-law's ex husband started dating her friend from elementary school, they have kids and it doesn't make my sister-in-law bitter, nor did it make her old friend a bad friend. They're happy, and that's kind of what life is all about.
