Not going to hurt.

Do you have a booster pump installed?

What rated sediment do you use now?

I use a 2 sediment. First is 5 micron and second is 1 micron. 1 micron is expensive so the 5 micron do the heavy lifting and help keep the 1 micron changes to a minimum.

no booster pump house pressure is pretty good. I'm using 5 micron 10in

Without the booster you will lose some pressure. As the sediment traps more you will lose more pressure. I would stick with a 1 micron without the booster.
