Way more hassle than it's worth. The tune will be fine and safe. It just won't run optimally. With that in mind, if you're just driving and not beasting the hell out the car all the time it's a non-issue, under light cruise and similar you just aren't making enough torque to do damage. Realistically you have to create more pressure on the components than you do stock to run any risk of damage at all. Plus if you have the ability to log and check, then you can do that and know for sure it's safe and not have any worries at all.
It's amazing how many people think a tune changes massively on a setup like this for different exhaust setups..... The ECU has ways of maintaining fuelling and controlling knock, things would have to be pretty different for it to not be able handle the changes.
