It would probably not harm the aircraft but would be bad enough if it freezes the entertainment system for all passengers. If the ~300 other people on board find out that you're the one responsible for their boredom on a 10 hour flight, you won't have a great time.

Has anyone taken a 10h flight where the IFE was not rebooted due to some problem?

Agree the IFE could crash, but can't see how there is even a remote risk to critical systems, or any risk to the IFE that isn't solved by (yet another) reboot of it.
