You can certainly code faster when you have higher confidence and lower inhibitions. Stop worrying about correctness in edge cases, security, or long-term maintainability!
Maybe, but I've got a feeling there are some cases where it is actually objectively better not just "having a beer & doing some happy path coding" type better
..admittedly I think that window is vanishingly small...but I do think its there

I suspect it’s somewhat dependent on the starting mental state. ie might benefit someone who is tense more than someone that is relaxed.
I could totally see the relaxing effect outweighing the impairment for someone tense
