That's not make-or-break territory, but it's enough that some players will feel like they picked wrong. Up to you.

On the QoL side, there's also the issue of Str. Given how limited +Str gear is at first, low Str races on a plate class seem brutal, especially given you'll want to loot and sell everything. On the other hand, being GIANT will be annoying in dungeons (I can't imagine there will be as many shamans running around). So maybe something like Barb / Dwarf would be ideal.
