No, that cat won't really hurt itself with the collar on.
Because of how the collar is, their whiskers are trapped inside the cone with the face, giving them a very small area to "sense". Since whiskers do play a role in moving around for day-to-day life, it becomes a matter of the cat not relying on that particular sensation.
The collar does more good than harm, as long as it's not too tight or too loose. The collar does need to be on, so the cat cannot clean the wound itself - their mouthes are filthy, and infection can result rather easily.
tl;dr: Put the collar back on.
