If I were to swap out the oscillator, would it potentially damage the Mac? I doubt the .1664 MHz jump would hurt anything, but I want to make sure first.

Serial comms, disk controller, localtalk all derive from the same clock as far as I know.

So if you don't want the Mac Plus to reliably read and write floppies....
