The culture in my airline is always to treat any taxiing as “safety critical”, so although there would be an increase in radio calls and more stopping and starting, the fundamental procedure would be the same as a normal operation. Taxy routes are verbalised and confirmed in advance, any turns or hold points are pre-planned and verbalised, the PF tries to keep “eyes out” while the PM refers to charts and cockpit displays. A third pilot (if present) plays a full part and everyone is encouraged to speak out and challenge any proposed action.

To try and answer your question: An increase in workload would pertain but I don’t think it would be “significant” as there would be no change to procedures.
