I did the same, but the only thing that happened was that I couldn't type symbols (quick, type a $ without looking at the keyboard). I exchanged it with one with keycaps afterwards.

Eventually you do learn where they all are. That did take noticeably longer than anything else.
Did you get faster than before in the end?
Probably. I've never measured them specifically. But since I can 'just' type them without looking or frequent mistakes, I'm probably faster since I never have to stop and look.
I've been using a glyphless keyboard for about 2 weeks now (accidentally) and I have definitely gone up in accuracy. Now I can hit $&% in the second try
