Is there any harm if we re-add the options to add word, excel, power-point documents directly inside our document libraries after adding custom content type

We have added many document libraries inside our SharePoint online communication site collection >> and for all the document libraries we have defined a custom content type >> but after adding the custom content type the New menu stop showing the options to directly add word, excel, power point documents , as follow:-

Now i can click on "Edit New Menu " >> then re-add the missing options as follow:-

Hi @johnjohn-0472,

Re-add these missing options will not cause any harm. With these content types, when you choosing from the “New” menu, you can ensure that customized content is used.

For example, when you add a image content type to the library that your team uses. Then, any time users want to create a image, they just choose image from the "New" menu. But re-add these missing options will not cause any harm.

@CaseyYangMSFT-4714 can you advice more on what you exactly mean by "With these content types, when you choosing from the “New” menu, you can ensure that customized content is used." ?
Thanks
