If you take the tape off, you still have to make sure your finisher is getting all the way to the edge to thin the bevel and then through it to smooth the bevel. I guess whether its bad depends only on whether it's keeping the finisher from getting all the way to the edge. The more metal there is to get through, the greater the chance that you have to give the razor a lot of extra attention to make sure the job is finished.
