If you run --m2f while Gnus is running, then message files will be
renamed, which means that the filename nnmaildir expects to find will
not be there; the article will appear to have expired, though
nnmaildir may figure it out eventually.
--f2m should be run before starting Gnus to ensure that Gnus sees the
updated flags. As long as you do that, there's no point in running it
again, and it might undo some changes made by Gnus since you started
it.

I don't think so.
