Should I be worried if the total number of processes is approaching nproc limit?

As the title suggests, can this be damaging to the system in any way? Or will this just slow the system down?
I could increase the nproc limit in /etc/security/limits.conf and reboot, but I really don't want to reboot the system.

There should also be a run-time entry somewhere in/proc/.

On my system all the nproc entries are commented out. I assume yours has been configured in some way.
The nproc setting is enforced per user or group member. The limits are implemented during logon or session start via PAM's pam_limits.so module. This means that you can change /etc/security/limits.h and it will apply from the next session or login.
