Fuel injectors spray a mist into the cylinder, the O-rings ensure all of the fuel spray into the clyinder. Your fuel rail is pressurized around 50 psi or so when the rings fail it will send that spray out of the head and onto the intake manifold and catch fire. That can be bad.

No worries man, you did all the work and wrench turning. Great job on fixing that yourself.
