How high quality, and for what purpose?
If I recall correctly, it did have some serious issues with predictability (unless this changed since Eu4 alpha), so using it for applications that require unpredictability would be a bad idea.
Using it for any other cryptographic/high security use would also likely be a bad idea, as it doesn't seem that the integrity of the algorithm has ever been tested.
If those things aren't necessary, it would likely be adequate- the numbers aren't appallingly bad as with some implementations of C rand().
