It might not 'break' anything but apt tends to run just after login, which reduces the user experience to molasses as it thrashes around.

It should really be delayed by 10 or 15 mins so that the user has a chance to start working on their immediate tasks.

AFAIK it's ran via cron/systemd - so it should only affect login if the computer was off before login? And apt update / download should not impact a reasonable system (maybe something with really slow storage, like a microsd card, though?).
