In your case, it seems unlikely to be an issue. In most circumstances, I think it would result in a few extra questions.
Generally, a degree that comes after years of professional experience indicates a career switch, and those employees often need to work harder to find a good fit – usually, an organization that can make use of the skills they learned in the previous phase of their career. The reasons for this mostly come down to being very junior in skill level but having difficulty working under the same circumstances (low pay, trained by a 25 year old, potentially long hours...) of the typical junior hire.
There are exceptions to this, and there are many career switchers that navigate this well, but it's definitely worth keeping in mind.
