It only matters at the point of authentication, so existing SSH sessions will not be affected. > 2.

I recommend understanding the impact of the changes you will make instead of assuming you need to reboot to make them effective. In this case you do not need to make a change to your sshd's config, but if you *did*, it would only be affecting sshd not anything else on the system. So you'd only need to restart sshd.
