BCFIPS provider be positioned at the bottom of the security provider list in non-FIPS environment

We are currently using the Snowflake JDBC FIPS driver in a non-FIPS environment. The reason for this choice is to simplify maintenance, as managing different drivers for various environments can be cumbersome. However, the FIPS driver requires that the BCFIPS provider be positioned at the top of the security provider list, which imposes restrictions on the algorithms available for other processes in same jvm. Therefore, am seeking clarification on the potential consequences of placing the BCFIPS security provider at the end of the security provider list in non-FIPS environments.. Specifically, need details that this adjustment will not affect the functionality or performance.
