It does, doesn't it? For one thing, it will slow startup down by loading the entirety of the package, instead of just autoloading a few functions.
Or does hyperbole need to be loaded in full to work?

Some of it must be loaded not just autoloaded and that is what (require 'hyperbole) does. It became too complex to lazily load everything at first use as there are many different ways to invoke its features.

It does not take long to initialize, so it won't slow down initialization much.
