It will likely conflict most in-progress PR. For PRs that are large and long lived it will be a PITA to maintain and will further slow integration so, likely, yes.

I ran formatters on a largish codebase over Christmas when all the PRs were done. You just have to pick your moment. If it's really hard then get everyone to agree on a date to do it and make it each developer's responsibility to either merge before or rebase after the change. It can be done.

Some team in my old job use to have a term for this - "grabbing the virtual chicken". It was essentially a giant distributed lock :)
