Yes, you should be concerned. Over time, the piston/seal will get dirty and start to stick. You have enough hydraulic pressure that stopping will not be a problem (unless it gets real bad) but the brake will not fully release, causing premature wear. And the chance of a leak occurring goes way up. You can get by without the boots for a while but you'll eventually have to pay the piper.
