I use imperative, but for other projects which don't I switch to indicative if that is the style. Personally like imperative more, not sure why, just preference.

> Is it really that big of a deal to use the indicative sometimes and imperative other times?

'big', don't know, but wouldn't be surprised if there's an objectively provable higher cognitive load for having to read a mix of both (or, god forbid, other styles thrown in there as well) vs one consistent style. Just like there is for code etc. And some people are affected by striving for consistency more than others, so for them lack of consisteny might cause some extra friction.
