The short answer: Nothing bad. Obviously, changes made on in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps/ will not be pulled in to the Deployment Clients. Also, you will get splunkd errors in _internal saying that there are DC timeout/connection failures, and you will get a TON of them for every Deployment Client.
