Not really just gives you less distance casting. Current trend is for silly fine lines meaning that it takes forger to land a big fish which is not good

It will be fine as long as you're using a reel with a large enough spool to manage the line properly.

Re: 42lb braid
on 15-50gr rod i use 35-40lb braid, have no issues landing good fish( 20+), you can control them enough.
i only go heavier for bigger lures and snaggy waters tbh
