Have you encountered any unintended consequences from disabling this?

The consequences of dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled;false mostly results in errors of functionality with WordPress, Google Docs, and Facebook (but I suspect FB has other motivations/reasons for this). You might encounter errors with other WYSIWYG editors, but for the most part, it's a nice optional feature to have control over.
None whatsoever. I've had it disabled for about two years.
