nothing bad will happen to your Mac if the scripts don't run. I too have the issue of not hearing the welcome message.

Just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue? Sometimes when I turn on my mac and let it start up, I don't hear the welcome to mackintosh message sometimes when I boot up the mac. Normally my mac boots to the desktop and most times it says welcome to mackintosh voice over is running finder macintosh hd. Is there a reason why sometimes the mac boots and nothing is spoken? Then when I use the arrow keys everything speaks fine? I've run repair disk permissions in disk utilities. One other question, is there a way of changing the maintenance scripts that run at 3 am to another time? I don't like leaving my mac on all night and i'm wondering if there's a way of telling the scripts to either run manually or run at a time when i'm awake? I'm concerned if these scripts don't run, something bad may happen to my mac.
