Glued paper strip with wallpaper paste, what can happen?

Hello! As the title suggests, I've accidentally glued a paper strip with regular wallpaper paste without realizing it. I noticed that the strip was slightly bubbling in a few spots on the wall. I thought I was a bit sloppy with pressing the strip into the glue, so on the ceiling, I decided to be very thorough! And I was; no bubbles after the filler there. Then I was in the basement and noticed a bucket I had set aside to use, as I had done in the first room I renovated: "wet room adhesive"... sigh! As if that wasn't enough, I ended up using 2-year-old wallpaper paste. Oh well. I also noticed after the second coat of paint that you can slightly see the middle of the strip in one spot on the ceiling. I can live with this mistake; after all, I haven't plastered perfectly in the rest of the ceiling even though I've tried. BUT... I understand that you're supposed to use wet room adhesive so that it doesn't bubble when you add moisture in the form of filler, and apparently even paint on top of the filler - but can anything else happen other than bubbling during this period? In other words, is there a risk of something else happening after the paint has dried? Greater risk of cracks or anything else?

You are welcome to explain what the error is and what I am lying about.

I can't do it better than what has already been done, so I refrain from even trying.
You have to read the thread (and link) yourself.
