Could there be any issues using “ns” as a subdomain?
I want to setup a subdomain "ns" on my domain, but before I do want to double check if there could be any potential issues using such a subdomain.
For example ns.mywebsite.com
To my knowledge, there shouldn't be, but I know a lot of nameservers are just named ns#.domain.com (e.g. ns1.domain.com ns2.domain.com) so I don't know if that could cause any issues.

Some subdomains are reserved for specific purposes in DNS, like _domainkey for email authentication.
That being said, I don't believe that ns is one of those reserved subdomains, so you should be able to use it for whatever you want.
Actually, after doing some more research it seems like as long as you stay away from underscores, you should be fine. (Underscores for actual hostnames seem to cause trouble anyways.)

By the way, I was inspired by your question so I posed this more general one to Webmasters SE: List of reserved third-level DNS zones?

There's no magic in the prefix names of a DNS entry. You can name them whatever you want. Obviously, some people will think name server as you've already pointed out but the DNS servers won't be confused.
