Well, if an application is added as default in the future update of Lubuntu,
it won't be installed without the meta-package. (Although I'm not certain in
the case of distribution upgrade)
Other than that though, there shouldn't be any issues with updating

If you are talking about why 'lubuntu-desktop' package would be removed when
one small part of its dependency is removed, you can choose to ignore it and
remove that package since it is only a meta-package that contains
(literally) nothing inside it. It won't hurt other programs.
