If any, minimal. The goods news though is, you didn't end up with the derailleur in the spokes.

Might I suggest in the future that you consider a second bike - lower cost, simpler...for exactly this reason. A backup.

Most cyclists I know own two bikes - with the second usually a single speed/coaster/old 3-speed/junker. But some do have their second being similar to the primary just because they can.
.
The other option is to have a spare rear wheel - but that means insuring both hubs mirror each other so that swaps can be made with minimal derailleur adjustements.
