We have had success with the Data Wizard and seen no adverse effects when renaming Support Groups.

However, that being said, I would look for OTB workflow as well as any customized workflow, that may be using the actual name in some calculation, that may be stored in some fields. I would be more cautious about customization as I would want to safely hope, that the OTB code was clean enough not to consider the actual names in its workflow.. I would also focus on reports and where reports get their group information from, and what is actually stored in those fields that reports get group information from..

If so, then it _shouldn't_ matter. I customized our suite to make the group names match the support group names (caveat - I'm on an older version of the suite). We were not using any custom row-level security, but otherwise have not seen any issues with the change with the exception that the intermediate form between the support group and group (CTM:SYS-Access Permission Grps, I think) has a 30 character limit on group name length, and CTM:Support Group is 60. We didn't make the one field larger, so that effectively limits our support group names to 30 characters.

We are using row level security (Field 112) on a few forms and having a 10 digit number show in the Assigned Group menu field is difficult to work with.
