Removing (instead of erasing) iPhones from iCloud.com

I am selling a couple of old iPhones (a 6 and a 7). I have removed the SIM cards from both. I went to iCloud.com and removed them from My Devices list but didn't erase either of them. Could that become a problem once the phone is used by someone else?

iPhone 6, iOS 11

Yes. See the recommendations in What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
