I would care about data balancing first - as I said it is currently
skewed a bit. Performance wise perhaps it will take a bit more
CPU/memory to process but not to the extent where it will affect
performance.

Then I am stuck with current number of PGs: pool is in heavy use and
there virtually no chance to increase PGs number offline. Will wait for
a version which will make it possible.
