Hi, no serious issue can be caused by that.
Keep in mind though that any other operation will have that amount of time to complete before failing on timeout - which will 
cause delays before failing (as the timeout was increased for all executions) when not everything is operational and up as expected (as in most of the time).
I'd guess that a RFE could be opened to allow increasing the timeout of specific operations if a user want to do that.

thanks,
Liron.
