Would you leave a 14yo overnight with his older siblings?

Name changed as posting on behalf of DH. DH has four DCs aged 14, 16, 17 (turning 18 next month) and 20. The 16yo and 20yo already spend several overnights by themselves each month at their mum's house as they prefer to just visit DH regularly rather than transition between houses (their mum is away at her partner's home when it's not her contact weekend). The DC also spend daytimes by themselves during school holidays i.e the dynamic between all four of them is fine and they're happy sorting out their own meals etc. DH has a work meeting coming up in three weeks requiring an overnight stay so he won't be able to have the 14yo and 17yo for one night during his contact time. AIBU to think it would be fine to leave all four DC together by themselves for just one overnight if the DC themselves are OK with it?
