Finger style bass can have no limits and there's no book of rules when it comes to playing, I've seen bassists utilize the thumb with the first three fingers as a style of playing and they've sounded incredible. I'd say just do what you feel comfortable with and if you feel like adding a finger in or mixing it up a bit go for it. No harm. You don't have to abide by any particular technique.
