No it shouldn't as long as user/group creation is done through IPa you shouldn't have issues. You may need to write some customization if you need to add mandatory attributes at user object creation but this has been previously documented in this list. We also have documents on how to extend the FreeIPA framework with new modules in case you wish to create native management interfaces in FreeIPA to manage the objects you need. In order to better future-proof I also suggest you place custom objects in a clearly named subtree (like cn=yourorgname) under the base suffix so that you do not risk conflicts when we add new features in IPA in the future.
