That instrument was made, prepped and sold for you to buy and enjoy. If your tuning makes you play more and brings you joy you shouldn't waste another second worrying about.
In the absolute worse case scenario: Someday, down the road years from now, you end up having to get it repaired... or worse yet, buy a new one. Then the process will start all over  Enjoy it.

I'm a mostly open tuned player. When I was starting out I was advised that open E or A would add more tension to the neck & could make the neck bow over time, therefore it was safer to use open D or G & capo up, which is what I've always done. That said, someone showed me a guitar that had been used exclusively in open E for 25 years a while back and the neck was straight as a ruler.
Swapping between tuning a lot does kill strings though.
