Anything wrong with hooking up a neutral wire, but telling the switch there is no neutral?

I have a couple of lights (blacks and reds) that flicker once or twice during ramp up and then calm down once on, but setting the switch to no natural fixes the issue. Will this hurt anything if I leave it this way?

Which version of switches?

Black and red dimmers

Which reds? There are several different generations.

There is? I wonder why they don’t change the name for generations. Confusing. Ive had them a few years. Anyways I’ve noticed they won’t go as bright in no neutral mode so I changed it back to neutral. It’s been an issue for a long time and I’ve learned to live with it anyways. Only happens with Phillips Ultra HD bulbs which is unfortunate because those are the best I’ve ever used in every other aspect. Other bulbs don’t exhibit the above issue for some reason. Anyways, I’ll move on thanks.

Red is Zwave, blue is Zigbee, so changing the color names wouldn’t work. The model numbers are different and I’ve seen them referred to a “gen 3” etc. but it can get confusing.
