Nothing to worry about then.

Note that the help (?) on the file descriptors count in the management 
UI does in fact explain exactly what I said:

"To optimize disk access RabbitMQ uses as many free descriptors as are 
available, so the count may safely approach the limit. However, if most 
of the file descriptors are used by sockets then persister performance 
will be negatively impacted."
