If you're fine getting wrong answers after the first 73, sure. Some people have higher standards than that.

Exponentiation is not a constant time operation, and floating points have finite precision.

Exponentiation is constant-time on floats. But as noted by sibling comments, the precision is a problem.

Everything is constant time is your precision is limited. Even the naive, recursive algorithm on integers is constant time if your integer size is limited (it will just be an exponentially big constant). To be able to meaningfully talk about complexity, you need to assume that something is not limited, and once you do that for floats, you’ll find that their exponentiation is no longer constant time.

Floats only have a finite precision.
