Is this going to cause any problems in the future, in case Facebook adds features to their XMPP implementation? I'm not familiar with, if any, differences between FBXMPP and a normally setup XMPP account.

As with Google Talk users who previously created XMPP accounts, they might miss out on such theoretical features.  I think it's a minority, and users who did this in the first place are probably savvy enough to figure it out.

The logs don't disappear just because we removed the service (or because the user deletes a configured account)... so, again, I don't think this is a huge concern.
