There is one thing I noticed which is not that benign in this
change.  Namely SMART was working fine with /dev/hde but one gets
"device not supported" with the same disk(s) if this is /dev/sda.
Other than that there is a minor matter of editing swap devices in
/etc/fstab;  it is possible to have entries for both variants but
then you will always get some, harmless, complaints while booting.
This assumes, of course, that you are mounting by label (or UUID).
