Be very careful.

I've seen no issues and have been running it like this for almost a couple of years.

There is another thread from a guy who got into the service mode and didn't realize that it dumps the camera alignment data.

What do you mean, "dumps the camera alignment data"?

Accessing that mode sets a data flag that alerts Service that you've been tinkering. It will void your warranty, and it can be a very expensive repair.

Why would a repair be necessary  - unless perhaps you try to roll back to a previous firmware version, I think somebody tried to do that - and that did cost a lot of money to repair.

Seems strange you might void your warranty for just looking at the shutter count.
