As I can see this is a desktop, so disabling it would not cause issues as long as you are not plugging in the DP/HDMI to the motherboard. Hell, it might even give you a benefit if you disable it, as atleast on laptops, integrated graphics take up a chunk of your RAM to use as VRAM. My laptop Ryzen 7 5800H uses 2GB, but came with a default of 4GB allocation to integrated GPU. 

 

If you have tons of RAM, it might not be an issue, like I had 32GB, so can spare a few more to iGPU, but if you have 16GB or so memory, every bit counts, especially while playing games on higher res/settings as I assume you might be doing if you have the 7900XTX.

AMD Adrenalin software won't record gameplay if amd radeon (tm) graphics from CPU is ON. So, is it bad to keep it OFF? I mean, any perfomance in games and daily use stuff?

If this is a desktop it should be fine. If it is a laptop there may be possible complications.
