will I notice
Who knows, your sensitivity is a mystery to us. You can do all the maths for yourself, but in addition to increasing stack by about 14mm and very slightly reducing reach, you will also be reducing BB drop by about 6mm, reducing the head and seat tube angles by nearly 1° and, assuming no change in fork offset, increasing trail by about 6mm. These are all changes which lie within the normal range of variability, but they vary between bicycle use cases for reasons, and not usually in the same direction as using the wrong fork changes them, e.g. if you slacken the angles and increase trail to turn your road bike into a touring bike, you would usually increase BB drop, not reduce it.
I'm sure you will be able to ride around the "problem", and even come to see it as normal, but you may always have a nagging suspicion that your bike isn't as nice as it used to be.

Why is the RD cable routed along the top tube and the FD cable along the down tube?
Because the person commissioning the build was either ignorant or ill-advised. I'd have taken the opportunity to upgrade the traditional pulley used on CX bikes to operate a bottom-pull FD from a top tube cable run to full #tartmode with a full ceramic bearing and DLC coated pulley 🤑
