The issue is that those flags will have to be loaded every time a player logs in. If you have a lot of players and a lot of flags on those players, it can greatly increase a server's average workload.

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 because I've never tried to see if I can crash a player's account by overloading it with variables.
