The oil catch can will catch all excess oil that is blown out into your intake system.

No it shouldn't mess up your engine.

And IMO theres no real need, its more for looks than function.

Well, if you ever start running your car hard on long right-hand sweepers, you will see the benefits of an oil catch can. It's very common for stock S2000s that are running track or autocross tires in such turns to leave clouds of smoke when oil enters the intake tract from the valve cover breather. Adding a properly installed oil catch can is a functional solution.
