This is not recommended:

The current behavior in LaTeX export is to leave footnotes cookies in
tables as "[1]", with the corresponding footnote correctly displayed.

See attached example.

PS: you forgot to mention what version of Org/Emacs you're using, it
helps me a lot not to lose time finding out if the issue has not been
solved already.  Thanks!
