Performance wise it can be a major difference and worst case you may be departing with not enough thrust from the engines. There are some spectacular examples of that, Emirates in Melbourne, Qatar in Miami. Departure wise you may be following the wrong SID which can be embarrasing at best. Doesn’t really matter if you fly manually or not if your navigation is set up for the wrong runway.
