It would be hugely impactful to the high levels of academic math, but I don’t think we’d see any meaningful effects elsewhere. Consistent or not, math works—it performs perfectly for finance, engineering, statistical analysis, and a finite but practically uncountable number of other things. Some abstruse inconsistency won’t suddenly break all that, and if it were discovered we would just keep on using the same “broken” math because it does the job.
