When those aliasing filters are substandard to doing that task is where you might hear some differences in the between recording at 44,100 versus a higher sampling rate. Most even lower end digital gear is so much better now than it was a few years ago that it is unlikely to be a problem in any half decent new gear you purchase.

Regarding added effects, say an in the box software reverb, they work at a higher bit depth, they up-sample, do their thing, and then drop back down. Possibly with some software something may occur audibly there between a base sampling rate of 44,100 hertz versus higher. Don't know, but I hedge my bets and thus usually record at 88,200 and keep it there until I am all done.

Thanks for the input and the advise. I found the video easy to understand so it's reassuring to know the information is accurate.
