The only negative impact I can see is that some type errors won't be detected, for example if the value is passed to a function that requires an xs:byte. But that's true for any expression that returns a subtype of the declared type, or for example if the result of 1+1 is delivered as an xs:short - which to my mind is clearly allowed.
