Hi Zig,
Any stress applied to the stepper will ultimately shorten its bearing life but that could well be after years and years of use.
Coupling miss-alignment will most likely show as a reduction in maximum axis speed (the motor will stall at a lower rpm due to the torque reducing with speed).
I am looking forward to seeing some more pictures of your build as you proceed.
