L4931 Output Capacitor

A design I am debugging is utilizing Y5V dielectric capacitors on the input and output of the L4931. There is a 2.2uF capacitor directly at the output and another 2.2uF capacitor on the other side of an ~4 Ohm resistor that analog supplies are used off of.

Are there any concerns over temperature for using this dielectric type with this LDO? I know that Y5V tends to have a pretty variable capacitance over the operating temperature range of this LDO. I wanted to check in and see if there is any margin on the LDO for the stability capacitor requirement that would accommodate this capacitor dielectric type.

I also wanted to check in and see if there are any suggestions for performing a test for verifying if excessive transients are present due to a potential lapse in stability over temperature of the circuit.
