The main issue with playing these games out of order is that you get some spoilers from previous arcs. As an example, there's a character storyline from the Sky trilogy that is finished in Zero.
But if you're OK with that I'd say "go for it". I played the games up to CS3 out of order (Sky 1/2 -> CS 1/2/3 -> Sky 3 -> Zero/Azure) and I don't think it hurt my enjoyment of the series.
Just keep in mind that the later games in CS storyline (3/4/Reverie) ramp up the connections to Zero/Azure, which is why I paused after CS3 to go back and catch up on the older games.
That's the main reason I haven't played them yet. I really loved the first one, but my ability (or maybe willingness) to play older games is going down. I guess I should wait for the remake.
