Yes, it's purely cosmetical. However, I also don't see any big drawbacks.
The renames will be managed by git automatically, there are no references to the target names in packages or luci repos.
Despite, I consider it more confusing to have different naming schemes between and inside targets than to account for one target rename.

Best
