I didn't expect that it would be a problem, only asked because someone told me that it wasn't recommended. (and, of course, provided no supporting documentation).

I'm not talking about multi to uni processor changes, only multi to multi, like from 4 to 2 (or 8 to 4). I googled around a bit, but haven't found any info; most articles only discuss increasing cpus. If Windows is OK with a switch like that, how about ESX?
