As far as I know, there should not be any ABI issues.  We've been building extension modules with non-matching MSVC versions for years without issues.

I find it hard to think of downsides to such a trivial fix.  It is somewhat frustrating that we will have to resort to shipping custom Python versions with patched headers.  Some people are constrained to older MSVC versions for reasons not in their control.
