    Ramifications?

    There are no consequences as far as I know ... . The only thing I can think of is the fact that the database has to "autogrow" more, and that could have an impact on performance.

    Every time SQL has to grow performance is decreased during the increase. So shrink SQL when DB log file had increased to an abnormal size.

    If it is a test DB, you can do it because, in general, it is better a small DB than a fast DB.
