"OK" is an American word dating to the very late 1830s. (The form "okay" dates to 1929. See Chambers Dictionary of Etymology.)
When I see it in fantasy that isn't set in the US , I twitch. Hard. If it's a project I'm editing, I provide options for the client to use instead. Same when I see it in historical fiction of an earlier time and different place.
Words matter.
