I've got a draftX mare who has done this for years, legs tend to fill when kept in long winter nights. It always goes down when turned out or ridden, so I never really worried about it. But does this cause any kind of real long term damage?

I know sometimes we treat/faff with stuff that's just unsightly (ie stained tail or dirty socks doesn't really bother the horse or anyone but a showing judge) but not necessarily bad for them and I try to avoid that.
