That depends on how you define a problem. I can give you a written guarantee that if you put a wide band O2 sensor on a carb equipped car and run it over a 10,000 foot elevation range, the AFR will vary more than you want it to.

It will affect power for sure. Listen to the guys who drag race in Colorado at the Mile high drag strip.

If you run an engine too rich continuously, it washes the oil off the cylinder walls and the rings wear prematurely.

EFI can solve this, but not all EFI strategies do. All EFI strategies do not give the same results.
