Is there any negative to using F695 idlers on the toothed side of the belt? Im concerned that it will damage the teeth or is it not an issue?

People think it will give you extra-ripply vertical surfaces and flatten your belt and or shred it, but in practice it's fine, lots of commercial printers do that (Lulzbot Taz, Makergear M2 and most of the Creality 3d printers)

Flanged bearings work better than (cheap) pre-made idlers but not because the bearings are better quality. The idlers have the two bearings pressed in with the outer races contacting the idler, but the inner races free. When you tighten the bearing axially, the inner races load up and make it hard to turn.
