Skinnier road tires will absorb less of the road shock, so the ride will be a little harsher on both you and the bike. It's nothing to worry about though, both you and the gear will be able to take it just fine. Even skinny road tires can handle most of your road debris, I've even had reasonable luck off-roading with my 28mm slick tires.
