If a board is working well with a 12 MHz chip , will there be any problems if I pluck it out and replace with a 20 MHz , asuuming there are no timing implications on the software side ?


usually no problem,


Assuming of course you use a '51 clone that was designed for such speeds. "Vanilla" 8051 was designed with 12MHz clock in mind and anything above that is just overclocking (with all negative implications), but most modern '52 clones support clocks up to 24MHz and few - much more (or they use the cycles more efectively, like 1 instruction - 1 cycle, not standard 1 instruction - 12 cycles).
