We'll be installing a felt backed vinyl floor in a bathroom soon, and the
manufacturer (Domco) says it can be loose laid or full bond.

What kind of problems might we experience if we glued the edges only?

The room is a complicated shape, and I figured edge gluing would make
future replacements easier too.

Take the word of the manufacturer. Either glue it fully or not at
all. At the minimum, you will lose any warranty if you perimeter glue
it.

You may think that it makes sense to perimeter glue it, but the
manufacturer would have given you the option if it was there.

Future replacement isn't too bad if you get one of those pneumatic floor
scrapers to attach to your air compressor. Chisels that junk right up.
