Django db backend not FIPS compliant

I'm running into issues when trying to migrate my models in an environment that is running FIPS restrictions regarding MD5.  Here is the stack trace:

Operations to perform:
  Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, dashboard, kombu_transport_django, sessions

 Is there a particular reason why MD5 is used here? Is there any harm in changing it to sh512 or something similar?
