From what I've found, he'll still check just not as frequently. Also the overall 'Tactic' of the team matters a ton too. If your offense is 'Shoot the Puck' then he'll likely fit in better than if the team is more focused on say a 'Dump and Chase' or 'Ultraconservative' team tactic.
In one of my games, I have a 2nd Line Sniper who's 4/4 (ironically 0 goals in 14 games despite 10 assists) but he does have 13 hits thus far.
As for whether the team will suffer, JeffR has said that the higher the #s the better overall (leading to the Backchecker probably being ideal?) but I think it's also highly tactic dependent.
