Out of the box, git can easily add binary files to its index, and also store them in an efficient way unless you do frequent updates on large uncompressable files.
The problems begin when git needs to generate diffs and merges: git cannot generate meaningful diffs, or merge binary files in any way that could make sense. So all merges, rebases or cherrypicks involving a change to a binary file will involve you making a manual conflict resolution on that binary file.
You need to decide whether the binary file changes are rare enough that you can live with the extra manual work they cause in the normal git workflow involving merges, rebases, cherrypicks.
