If the leaks indicate COPV compromise, it could eventually rupture, causing potentially serious damage -- especially if hypergolic fuel tanks are ruptured in the process.
On the other hand, if the leaks are at the manifold then starliner might become an ISS module indeed, but taking up an airlock is bad news nonetheless so they would still have to find a way to jettison it.

Maybe another shot of them with crowbars trying to manually pry it off the station. Every single person at Boeing should be full of shame at this entire process. The thing is an utter joke to everyone.
