is using a custom resolution on a display bad?

[AlTech]

So, 

GeForce experience Ngreedia has recommended that I run at 2517x1527 at some games by upsampling.

 

And I was wondering if there was any damage that could be caused to my monitor by running it at 2715x1527 custom resolution instead of it's normal 1920x1080.

 

I know it doesn't replicate the look or feel of 1440p or thereabouts but I wanted some extra screen real estate until I get a monitor upgrade.

 

Can any damage come to my monitor or am I fine?

It's impossible to damage a monitor through a custom resolution. You're fine

No.

Well then why doesn't Windows allow it natively?

 

I had to hunt through GeForce Control Panel and click to agree to a wall of text with stuff about warranty and potentially harming a display

No, the monitor never receives the higher resolution image, it's downscaled to 1080p before it leaves the graphics card. The monitor won't even know the difference.

Even at the Windows Desktop and using it outside of gaming?

Yes

You're still running the monitor at 1080p so you're fine. In some odd cases, the monitor may allow you to set a higher-than-native resolution, but will complain about it or turn off. But that's not the case here.

I created a 240P preset for my monitor. Your fine...

your monitor only has 1920x1080 pixels. No other resolution will ever be shown on the monitor. Ever. It physically can't. Any other resolution is scaled to the monitors pixels before the monitor shows it. It can't be damaged by this.
