My current keyboard is built like that, each row of keys has a
different profile. I moved the keycaps from qwerty to Colemak
regardless, and although one can see with the eye that not all the
keycaps are level, it cannot be felt in typing. I am a very sensitive
typer, I can tell you which keys take 35 grams of force, which take
45, and which are inaccurate and take too much. If I don't notice the
different keycaps in typing, then I assure you that it is not an
issue. Note that I did put some rough tape on the (qwerty) F and J
keys to help me find home row.
