I believe mine is a 60 tooth carbide and it works just fine.. But I do use the router to clean up the cut prior to solvent welding for a better joint..

A low rake blade intended for acrylic would be "better" though than a general purpose blade...

In general a table saw cut is not sufficient to ensure a high quality/bubble free joint.. But most of the time it will work..
Edeg prep is key and a table saw (unless VERY heavy/high quality,etc..) is typically not the "best" or not suitable to create the final edge without some secondary operation (shaving/routing,etc...)
