Only concern I have is the flattening of the knot will result (maybe) in fibres being damaged reducing rope strength.

Tying the right knot for the right application results in less binding, however tying knots in wet rope is always worse than dry.

I have had 35T excavators pulling on knots and they came undone by hand ... your choice of knot is very important and avoid wet rope.
