The harm can come in the future when your standards compliant ereader sees the value of 0 for widows or orphans and ignores it.
The CSS Level 3 Fragmentation module states the following (which I've quoted once before):
Only positive integers are allowed as values of ‘orphans’ and ‘widows’.
Negative values and zero are invalid and must cause the declaration to be ignored.
Please note the section that I have bolded. And yes, testing with a ePub3/CSS 3 compliant application, setting widows and orphans to 0 gave the same effect as no widows and orphans declarations, i.e. the default of 2 was applied.
