Replaced injectors today - NO heat shields under old ones

Replaced my injectors today in the 240D (thanks Sean! ). No problems with the install, and it smoothed out the idle and ride....seems like one injector is nailing a bit though?

Anyway, there were no heat shields under the old injectors. I did some searches and all I could find were dire warnings to always replace them. What are the long-term consequences of that?

I guess that may be why I needed them replaced?
