Loading images in entries the lazy way is a way to enhance the handling of the net traffic by loading images only if they are in or in the near of the browser viewport. The enhancement will only be remarkable in forums with many entries which include many images. With inserting the attribute loading="lazy" to all images in entries, the additional code snippet is a small price to pay in terms of network performance. The browser support is wide (begun approximately around 2020). Older browsers will simply ignore the attribute. So there should be no risk to break something.
