I do not think there will be any "nasty" side effects. In the worst case,
there will be situations where the decorators do not update. In the case
of Switch, this is usually the project decorator does not update to the
new URL. However, in my own usage in the past I found this was
inconsistent. It probably had a lot to do with which files were updated
by the switch process.
With Merge the problem was similar. After some merges you would not get
the modified files indicator unless you did a Refresh.
I added the Refresh as a way to resolve these problems. In my own
testing, even in very large projects, the Refresh option always ran very
quickly provided that the files were not out of synch with Eclipse. It
basically was no different than right-click on a project and choosing the
Refresh option. If the project is in synch, this runs fast and no build
is triggered.
I think the real patch to this problem would be to take out the refresh
option but then also figure out the problem as to why the decorators do
not always update.
