VPX_EVENT and VPX_EVENT_ARG table growth rate

The root cause of the growth was determined to be excessive Host logging from vMA and CapacityIQ. These have been resolved but not before the tables grew to 70GB and 30GB respectively. The process for pruning these has been outlined and is expected to take 12+ hours.

This company is migrating to a new datacenter and does not want to be without vCenter for that long. Now that the growth rate is under control, they want to leave it as is providing there isn't great risk in doing so. We haven't seen any loss of functionality or noticeable effect to the environment and I was unable to provide possible complications, dangers, or adverse effects of running with the oversized tables.

Can anyone provide more insight in the potential complications or validate if there isn't great risk?
