Wasnt the lube groove below the mouth of the case?

Yes, is that all that matters? All that was taken off was the finish of the bullet itself

Some lead bullets are coated to help keep from building up lead fouling. How many rounds are we talking? 20? 200?

Most of the bearing surface is below the mouth of the case and is protected as such. So while a portion is above the casemouth and exposed, I would think you would be fine especially if the bullet has lube grooves........a solely coated bullet might be affected more

Shoot and enjoy

Or, dunk the exposed part of the boolet in alox.

20 rounds, I would lose any sleep over. Have fun and be safe.

I've heard of people who tumble after loading as a normal part of their routine.

Shoot 'em.

I'd be more concerned with potential changes to the powder, some can supposedly change burn speed enough to become a problem. Someone supposedly tested and confirmed the change with Vihtavuori, I think it was N110. Apparently the size of the granules is what regulates the burn speed and a tumbler can break them up making them burn way faster.

^^^These guys tested that "theory" and came to the opposite conclusion:
