Whether or not it can cause issues for a player's account, I'm not entirely sure. I suspect the answer to that would be yes, but I can't say for certain.
Unless the server is getting 100 logins/ms or something ridiculous, retrieving some data from a database and setting some clientr.variables won't be that big of a deal.
