In my vast experience [n=1 pond], absolutely not. In fact, optimal removal size is probably 1-14". The more small bass you remove, the more yoy BG will survive and the healthier the BG population will become. Unless you're using rotenone or some other poison, there's simply no way to really overcull the LMB in that size range.
A couple of years ago, after I had done a lot of reading on this forum, I went to war with the LMB in a 2+ acre pond, even had it shocked and removed all the bass we were able to shock up in an afternoon. It still took a solid year of fishing and removal to get the populations of BG and LMB into alignment, so I don't think you can take out enough many bass in the size range you mention to cause any harm
