No, because it doesn't make an ounce of difference as long as the hive is topped by a closed crown board and some insulation - which yours are. The bees will keep the brood warm, they've been doing it for a few million years, so no need to worry.
What might happen, if you leave an inspection board in for too long, is that it will be covered in a layer of hive debris that the bees won't be able to clean away because they can't get at it through the mesh.
