It'll be fine as long as the decryption time-horizon is beyond the lifetime of the company, the user, and the regulatory-regime :p

Not even this as it could have negative impact on the next at least 2 generations depending on politics in the future. Some people judge you based on who your ancestors were and what they did. There are countries today where you have to fear for your life if your father was gay, for example.

As we cannot foresee the future, neither politics nor any future decyphering capacities, I highly doubt deleting the key is a viable option.
