All that happens is you lose the ability to play back the recordings. You can use one of the utilities to clean things up, but I'm not sure if any of them will automatically change the information that says a program has been recorded in the past. That latter bit would be the ideal so that most* of your recordings would re-record when tey are next repeated (even if that's years hence).

* But not ones recorded with "find and record one showing" rules which I think are automatically deleted after recording, not rules you've deleted or made inactive.

As for the rest of your post, it seems a reasonable compromise to me. It;s not ideal having such disparate loads shared on one set of storage, but in the real world you sometimes have to settle for a best compromise.
