I think (stress think) the ecu flash will be fine but what will be reset are any specific diving tendencies that it will have learnt wile you have been driving. For example the rpm that you usually change gear at, how hard you brake, how much you press the accelerator coming out of a corner, etc.
Incidentally the ‘cheat device’ fitted to many cars to trick the economy and emission figures isn’t actually a thing at all, it’s a software ecu mode that trips in when the ecu detects the car is being put through the testing cycle. The ecu ‘learns’ it’s being tested and alters its parameters to be optimal for the test.
