On multi-issue architectures it does make a difference. Anti dependence permits the two instructions to be issued during the same cycle whereas true dependency and output dependency would forbid this.Dependency type plays a role for estimating costs and latencies between instructions (which affects performance), but using wrong or imprecise dependency type does not affect correctness.
Or am I misinterpreting your comment?
