That will wash out the excess indigo which will lighten the jeans and affect how they fade in. Will likely soften them a bit too, which will also affect how they break in (the stiffer the denim, the more pronounced any creases will be).
There's no exact right or wrong but generally I thought the common consensus was to avoid washing with water for a minimum of 6 months and dry clean if you really have to wash them during that period.
