As far as I know the watchdog timeouts are _supposed_ to be
mostly harmless, i.e. recoverable.
If it up / downs the interface, it can be painful depending on your
setup. In one of the colos I dont have control over, the switch port
will block for 15 seconds for Spanning Tree when the interface
transitions like that. Even in cases where this does not happen, a
1-2 second network outage can play havoc with some applications.
