It really depends on the stress gradient you have. You should really
do a convergence test and find the correct mesh density.

If we concern deformation and stress of adhesive as well as potential
interfacial failure, what is your recommendation? (assume it is static
thermal
loading)?

George,
If it is static thermal loading that you are willing to tranfer and the edge
effect is not your concern, I would say it is ok. If it is transient, it is
not enough.
