Yes, the 1/2 spline misalignment will cause a small vibration, but probably not enough to cause premature wear of the U-joints. It will only be a driver comfort concern. If you can live with a slightly imperfect arrangement, go for it. If the shop that re-tubed the shaft is willing to correct their mistake, take the mating slip yoke that fits the misaligned spline with you so they can index it properly as it's rewelded.
