Just wondering what the side effects are of bypassing the oil cooler. Is hotter oil that bad? Would there be any benefits?

The hotter the oil, the thinner it gets and breaks down faster. The thinner it gets the less protection you have on your moving parts.

Ive heard of people that didnt have them(usually not on purpose). Do you know if its anything to really stress about? Any idea how many more degrees the oil is when not cooled?
