The definitive answer to your question is to try & see.  Although I
have been curious about this at times, I haven't been so curious to
invest the time to experiment.

As for conjecture, I would doubt that there is any physical harm in
deleting *all* partitions, but I doubt if there are any tools which
would reverse the result.  I suspect one would end up having to
reinstall, but again, this is only a guess.
