No knock-on effects apart from not being able to access that device any more.

Obviously, don't delete a device node that the system is running on (booted from).

(Typically this would be done whilst booted from DVD in single user node. Hard disk root filesystem mounted under /a on DVD)

AFAIK devfsadm will only create device nodes for disks it can see (during its search) and will not delete device nodes (for devices that have been removed).
