Again, not the same thing as configuring %any as remote identity (there
is a fallback to the certificate's subject identity if a certificate but
no identity is configured - and that identity is sent to the peer, which
might not like it, so you should perhaps later check what identity it
actually returns and configure that).

That will only have an effect after the authentication.

Whether it's critical depends on your firewall config.  See [1] for
notes on migrating from ipsec.conf to swanctl.conf.
