From my amateur knowledge, totally fine, this is what bulkheads usually enclose. But a few things to mention. If you have any junction boxes in there, you need to maintain access to them through an access panel. Also, I'd add some protection from someone screwing something into the ceiling and hitting one of those lines. Someone put a screw through my central vac line and I can't use one of the outlets now as it always gets clogged due to the screw catching all the crap being sucked through.

It’s a little hard to see at this angle, but I think they’ve got a few inches of space between the bottom of the trunk and the bottom of the cvac. OP, find a way to fasten the top of your wall to the joists. It’ll be far better than relying on the blue 2x4. It’ll probably involve cutting the cvac in a few places and gluing it back together with couplings.
