I doubt that vacuum plug will cause a problem unless, through some strange injector sleeve / seal failure you end up with a gallon of diesel in the crankcase. That would make that rubber plug turn into goo which could compromise the lube oil pump and pressure control valve..
The worst I could imagine is the lube oil pressure control valve sticking open, causing lube oil pressure to go near zero, HPOS would get starved for oil to run the injectors, IDM would stop firing the injectors once control pressure dropped below 500 psi, engine would shut down in about 2 minutes after losing lube pressure, and long before any cam and lifter damage was done.
...but I doubt that would happen. That vacuum plug will likely just live a quiet and boring life down there in the pan.
