The only risk I can see in customizing the templates is that your 
templates might break if you migrate to a newer Plone version.

Since Plone provides a Skin mechanism it is pretty easy to test your 
skin before upgrading to a new Plone version.

And don't forget to validate CSS, HTML, Acesssiblity, etc.

Good luck!
