Then you do not need to be worried :-)

This has always happened in QGIS snapping: if you digitize in a different
CRS, the snapped coordinates may suffer from reprojection errors (snapped
coords are reprojected from layer coords to map coords and then eventually
again to layer coords). We are talking about numerical errors because of
the finite precision -


If this is true, this could mean that the editing result could change

This problem is not really specific to snapping. If you misconfigure your
reprojection, you may digitize with incorrect coordinates regardless of any
snapping.
