It will do. Don't worry about it. It's entirely up to you if you want to use the
optional fedora-useradd mechanism, and I believe you register the UID to use by
editing the wiki page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserRegistry (UID 10
is already taken).

You've used the -M option in useradd, which means "The user’s home directory
will not be created, even if the system wide settings from              
/etc/login.defs is to create home dirs". You should create this directory in the
%install section of your spec and make sure that your package "owns" that
directory by including it in the %files list, with an appropriate %attr clause
to make the directory owned by user ircd and have the right permissions.
