What does happen if I just load
a resource and do nothing with that?

It won’t cause any specific issues that I’m aware of, but you’re unnecessarily wasting system resources (memory, i/o for loading, …).
So, it’s probably not a huge issue, but I wouldn’t do it knowingly…

Loading or Preloading doesn’t put anything on the tree so is not a problem, other than for memory. However, it can help with responsiveness later, if you are sure that the scene is required at some point.
Unless my startup is prohibitively long, I prefer to preload commonly used resources but I don’t write huge games with significant memory requirements.
