Two days ago (week 3 1/2 of flower) my AC infinity S44 ionboard broke and would no longer power on. I borrowed a growbros Par 700 blurple led for one day and then bought a HLG 550 the next day and installed it. Will all these changes of spectrum harm the plants?

won't make much of a diference. you only had a couple days of drastically different wavelengths, but the newer grow lights all have a very similar - those diagrams for a light showing density of each wavelength with peaks in the blue and red region as curves on a graph. If the HLG is the same CCT, it's going to be very, very similar.. even if it is 3000K vs 3500K, it's very similar. does the plant adapt pigmentation to the light it receives, sure.. and in my extreme cases it might matter but you should be fine. I doubt you can notice a difference at the end with your eyes.

Nothing to worry about as long as your distance is good.

It's very likely that yes, since the DLI value in the plant will vary due to the difference in PPFD it was receiving before and now (different panels). By controlling the PPFD, you could avoid some problems.
