Should have minimal impact but the keystones are cheap to replace. The cable is the main thing. Once it's pulled that's your main cost. Leaving an extra inch slack behind each socket should mean that if you need to replace the keystones down the road it'll be a two minute job.

I'd be very surprised if it has much of an impact that you'll ever notice in real world conditions though.
