Adding forward lean - how will it change my riding?

I am thinking about adding a bunch of forward lean to my bindings, to get some more power in my heelside carving. But if i do this, will it cause trouble on my freestyle/rail riding ability?
Currently my flow bindings are set to zero lean, or possibly even negative (when i stand up, there is a good inch between the highback and my boot). I read that zero lean is what all the freestyle riders want, and after adjusting the heelcup on the flows forward (size 9 boot on an L/XL binding), and moving the wire mounting point, i figured "fine leave it like that"
On other bindings, i wouldnt bother asking - just adjust the lean screw and try! But on my bindings i am already at the max forward adjustment. To go any further i need to move the wire mount (a 30 minute job with bindings off). And i dont want to do that, only to realise on the mountain that i can no longer ride rails due to forward lean...
So yeah, can i ride rails ok with a decent amount of forward lean? Or do i need to set up a dedicated carving board + a dedicated jib board?
