I suppose that depends on your definition on 'little'..
It would completely alter what ships an alliance can use to defend against incomings..
Right now FR/DE can not defended by CR/BS fleets from alliance.. (unless PL def but that's more of an exception)

If you alter the TT research as you suggested then it would make it even more difficult to know/guess what an attacking fleet consists of..
With all researched finished an eta 8 inc can then be FI/CO/FR/DE/CR/BS..

In my opinion it would completely change attack and defence..
I'm not saying that's a bad thing but I would not qualify it as 'little to no impact'..
